Re: a development question -

[Guest guest]

Dear

I have noticed the same with my daughter , after the drugs and seizures, but

didn't before them.

If you will get on google and do a search for sensory integration, I think that

may describe the problem. I am getting a book on it, and am seeing activities

that can help her. Her problem isn't just social things, but NEW situations.

Sometimes she almost appears autistic, but not really. She is just moving into

a comfort zone for her. I am just beginning to investigate it.

I saw therapists do activities with severely impaired children, but my daughter

isn't severely impaired and her needs are different. My first clue is tactile

defensiveness. Sometimes she is, not always. Places she is familiar with, like

her grandmother's house, she does very well. Other places, like the doctor's or

shopping, she asks to go to the car.

I believe it all began with the seizures. She did not exhibit these problems

before then. Or maybe it was the drugs.

Read a bit about sensory integration and see what you think. Is an occupational

therapist working with your child? If so, they may be able to help you.

His problems may be different than 's, but I think I have hit upon what hers

are and am doing some investigating so as to meet her needs in this area.

For those of you who have had a child whose

interaction skills were like " nill " - do they ever

" snap " or grow out of it? used to be such a

social baby - then the drugs for 1.5 yrs. - then no

drugs but it's been 7 months since we've been drug

free and still doesn't interact w/people. He

likes to be in the same room as everyone else but

doesn't pay any attention. Do you think this is a

result of the drugs or something else? Does it get

better? It's probably the thing that upsets me most

about his delayed development. We're seeing gains in

most other areas.

Thanks in advance!

6/03 - drug free since 3/04 - working on the seizure

free part but getting closer)
