Any mamas up here have a child that is a sensory seeker or have sensory processing issues?

I worked with kids that had high sensory needs I miss them so much !

@galarzasofia7, my son is I know you would love him

I feel like my son may. I’m waiting to get him evaluated

My 4 yr old is a sensory seeker and has SPD. He has some hypersensitivity, but mostly hyposensitivity. We are currently on an 8 month waiting list for a full neurological workup at children’s hospital, but are working with private OTs in the mean time.

@pnkbuttaflies, I just got a phone call my son will be evaluated august 7th it has been a long stressful process but I’m mostly scared

@laniejay, that sounds like my son 😢 I’m just worried

@laniejay, what are his symptoms

@tyshaijames2018, I have a bit of a different perspective, but I’m glad it’s something we can tackle rather than being worried. He wasn’t supposed to live at all, but he’s here and healthy. If SPD is all we have going on, we’ve got this. It’s something you have to work with, but you can work through it. You’ve got this, you’re on the right path already identifying and getting help.

@laniejay, yes I know I can handle anything but my main concern is when he starts school and he has a hard time kids can be mean and they love to bully

@laniejay, thank you so much same to you! I almost lost my son as well that was the scariest day of my life

@pnkbuttaflies, he’s sensitive to certain noises- mostly motor hums: vacuums, fans, vents in the car, etc. when he’s overstimulated, he’s also sensitive to smells. He constantly is on the go and climbing, can’t sit still- but much of the time needs to be upside down or spinning. He gets overly hyper and giggly when over stimulated as well. And clutzy. A lot of this is toddler behavior, but you can see the difference between it usually. It goes to more of an extreme. ADHD and Autism have already been ruled out for my kiddo as well, so we know it’s sensory overload.

@laniejay, this is my first and only child so him starting school will be my fear

@laniejay, that sounds exactly like my son we got this mama

@tyshaijames2018, work with him now and it may not even be noticeable by the time school starts. Many of our friends and even family don’t even know because of our work with him. I have the same fear, but we teach him to cope and process.

@tyshaijames2018, our little miracles will be fine. They’re here for a reason clearly and we get to witness greatness.

@laniejay, he is in speech therapy and occupational therapy it has helped so much and we work with him at home as well he will be in therapy until August
