Any ideas about this behavior?

[Guest guest]

My DS was dx'd w/ Apraxia, SID and Hypotonia at about 2 yrs old, and

rec'd EI and Special Needs Preschool until last year. He is now in a

regular kindergarten, and doing well - he tested out of Special Ed, is

no longer recieving ST, and seems to be able to communicate well.

He has started wiping his mouth and cheeks w/ his sleeve and/or the

shoulder of his shirt and irritating them. I just got off the phone w/

his teacher, who believes that this behavior is attention seeking, and

I should ignore it. I am not convinced,as he does it even when he

doesn't know I'm looking.

Does anyone have experience w/ this behavior or have some ideas about

what I can do as far as sensory input?

Thanks
