procioreception is described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception. This is a very technical article, but the simplest example is given under the heading 'law enforcement'

Its to do with sensory issues.. There is lots of info on the net but trying to find someone else who has a child with the same issues. x

Isn't that a different way of saying dyspraxia?

What are his symptoms, someone may be along with similar issues, if not exactly the same?

I am not sure I do not see the lady from CAMHS until next week to explain to me further. But symtoms are anger outbursts, hitting out at adults and other children, alot of bitting eatting clothes, no sence of danger will happily hurt himself and not worry, does not like confined spaces, only deals with teachers etc he trusts same with adults or chldren, clumbsy to say the least. Needs to be watched for his own safety and others they are the main things other little things happen all the time...

Try the Out of Synch child available from Amazon by Carole Kranovitch. That deals with all kinds of sensory issues including proprioception, and is very good. The thing is your child may be oversensitive to some stimuli and undersensitive to others so one size advice does not fit all. Advice given here could be the exact opposite of what your child needs as a result. The book should help you analyse for yourself what your own child's issues are and give you some ideas how to address them.

Good luck.

Have just had a look about dyspraxia and I do not think it is another word as while young it says can have trouble with eating and meeting milestones this is not my little boy he was 8lb 9 and ate like that and still does never had probs wih his food (if he does not eat then i know he is coming down with something he loves it) or miestones as he was walking around sofas etc by 9 months old but thanks x

Hi thanks I will look into that now. I think his sensory diet as I have seen so far includes alot of weighted activites and bouncing eg trampoline, chew braclets and stress related x

No it isn't the same as dyspraxia. It is one of a range of sensory integration disorders, common with children with autism but other kids can have them too.
