Re: swinging question/vestibular system

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,

That's so NOT true! I just received an email from a woman who was on

this list years ago until ran her off. It was a big loss when

she left, because she was the source of so much information that was

vitally important to my child. She introduced me to the digestive

enzymes that enabled my son to finally get potty trained.

This mean spirited closed-mindedness is not a new thing, and I am

getting almost daily emails from people dropping off the board

because they can't take the attacks on others anymore. More than one

has cited Janice as a source of wonderful information. Many are

asking for advice on which boards are more welcoming to all ideas and

have a focus on communication.

There is only one common element to the attacks, and her name is not

Janice!!!

We have also found success in swinging and spinning, actually just found a new

spin toy that accomodates kids up to 125 pounds and works really well. might

want to check it out at www.gymspin.biz

you can either spin child yourself or due to the way it is built it is also

self propelling and my son at 8 is 105# and he enjoys it as he long ago

outgrew the traditional spin toy.

That is a definite possibility. The vestibular system controls the

ocular system, and the key to the movement is that it is not

consistent. That is the definition of a roller coaster: slow, fast,

up, down, sideways, upside down.

here, not Janice, but we use enzymes, too. I could never hide

them in food. We used chewables for a long time, and now he swallows

the capsules with no problem. We use TriEnza, and the capsules are

pretty small. Can you teach him how to swallow them? If not, there

is information on hiding them in chocolate wafers on either

www.enzymestuff.com or www.danasview.net.

Good luck! Tell us what works1

Listening Therapy also addresses the vestibular system and how it along

with the ear components are all connected and affect speech, spatial

issues, focus/attention to name just a few issues. I'm on my second week of

Listening Therapy and my son has never ask this many ?s. His inquistveness

has never been this high! To top it, he loves going to Listening Therapy

which is 3x a week 1hr & 20 mins in duration.

[Guest guest]

Thanks ...teaching how to swallow would be tough..I had to get his

antibiotic medication in a chewable and it was torture to have to give it

to him 2x a day for 10 days..swallowing would be probably close to

impossible right now. I'll have to come up with a way to hide it. He only

eats but only a few things. Thanks for the suggestion.

That looks like an awesome toy! I want to try it.... (I weigh under 125 lbs....

so why not?) How much does it cost? Do you remember?

I second Becky.

I completely disagree with Pam's comments here. Janice's information

has been a great asset to this group. I have learned so much from

her and I know so many others feel the same. We are very lucky to

have Janice here.

Myra,

The way we administer our suppliments is through a syrenge. We use the ones

from the pharmacy and draw up the liquid or pierce the suppliment and put it

on a spoon and draw up off of the spoon. (give more since you are loosing

some along the way). Then we draw up some juice/diluted with water and he

takes it fine.

Hope this helps!

You are the pro at this since Mark has been devouring pills forever and I

have no experience at hiding or disguising.

here, not Janice, but we use enzymes, too. I could never hide

them in food. We used chewables for a long time, and now he swallows

the capsules with no problem. We use TriEnza, and the capsules are

pretty small. Can you teach him how to swallow them? If not, there

is information on hiding them in chocolate wafers on either

www.enzymestuff.com or www.danasview.net.

Good luck! Tell us what works1

Myra,

The way we administer our suppliments is through a syrenge. We use the ones

from the pharmacy and draw up the liquid or pierce the suppliment and put

it

on a spoon and draw up off of the spoon. (give more since you are loosing

some along the way). Then we draw up some juice/diluted with water and he

takes it fine.

Hope this helps!

Yes!!! OK I'll start. I notice that when Tanner writes things that

his thoughts are there but his spelling (which he is amazing at in

isolation) and his syntax break down in writing longer sentences.

It's very odd because it's almost like he talks better than he

writes -unless I have him break it down. Tanner had a girlfriend in

first and second grade who moved out of state so they email each

other...and as well as he talks I have to work with him on some

pretty basic stuff in writing emails. It's almost like the apraxia

that was verbal is there in some way. But again once you break it

down to one sentence at a time -he aces it. You or anyone notice

this? At least today I can talk to him about it and tell him

to use the same strategies that worked for him with speech when he

writes. For those that don't know Tanner is 11 -5th grade mainstream.
