Juliejim.....the school trousers arrived today. Thank you very much, they'll come in very handy as when DD1 has finished with them they'll be kept for DD2 for when she's at school. Will sort out the postage for you.:A
One of the questionnaires is a Sensory checklist. I am so pleased they have included this, I have said for years that he has sensory problems (eg seemingly can't hear/won't listen/but light sleeper and freaks out to mixer/hand-driers/blender etc) but never knew how to raise it or who to talk to without sounding like a complete fussy parent.
Sounds just like my friend's DS. He has always been demanding and similarly freaks out with aeroplane noise, fireworks, etc. He is now in Year 2 and last year they decided that he had like a sensory overload problem with lots of noise, too much visual stimulus like lots of colourful things on the wall being very distracting for him and just 'too much'. He also struggles to get things down on paper. It doesn't seem to be his actual intelligence, just finding it hard to communicate it in writing. They haven't given it a name as such but they find he's better when he has a bit of space to himself with not too much going on noise wise or visually, and short sharp bursts of school work, rather than 10 or 15 minutes even. Also they recommended that at home deep warm baths would calm him better than a shallow bath which would make him hyper and they said a lot of children like bouncing on a trampoline to calm them down (although this doesn't work with him!).
Anyway, back to flying. Did the bathroom yesterday so I'll cross off what's been done.
