Hi,
I'm new here (in the sense that I'm posting, but have been reading for quite awhile). I have a DD8 who is mostly likely 2E. For years I've been focusing on the big picture but she's not been formally diagnosed... complicated little girl. Recently I bought her a chewable necklace because she's always either chewing on her shirt or has a small object in her mouth. She seems to love the new necklace but I'm wondering if this will encourage her to chew on things more. For years I've been asking her to try and stop (with no luck). It definitely has redirected her and I'm not worried about choking, so this is good. I'm going to ask for a referral for OT. What are your experiences with SPD? Does it wax and wane? Does OT help with chewing? Any resources online that have helped? Thanks.
Nell
