melbotoast Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Can anyone point me to some good resources on this? I've seen a few comments related to this on the boards and I'm starting to wonder about DS. He is constantly LOUD. I'd love to find some ideas on how to turn down the volume level. TIA!

FairProspects Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The book "Out of Sync Child" is a good place to start. It will help give you some ideas of how to proceed and how to start changing your child's environment to create a sensory diet. After reading it, I decided to go for an OT evaluation to get more tools and techniques like those in the book, but that may not be necessary depending on your situation.

DyslexicParent Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Was the OT worth it? Did she use sensory integration training to create the sensory diet?

FairProspects Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ours absolutely did, but we live in a major metro area and the OT was specially trained in sensory integration - ie, that was all she did and she only worked with children at a dedicated children's facility. Our experience was life-changing but I hear that the quality of OTs varies dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geodob Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 While it sounds loud to you, does it sound loud to him? We mainly hear our voice through bone conduction. Here's some simple activities, to explore hearing his own voice: http://chanteur.net/contribu/index.htm#http://chanteur.net/contribu/cSFenten.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
