Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy GT school not enough for DS - what now?

Bronalex, my son, who has sensory issues, is younger than yours, so I don't have any advice - just a referral. I'm currently reading "Raising a Sensory Smart Child" L. Biel, and this book has a whole chapter devoted to advocating for your child at school and creating an IEP for SPD. The book includes IEP basics, pros and cons of Push In, Pull Out, After School and Private OT, strategies and personal perspectives from mothers in the trenches.

Another book I just finished by Lindsay Biel, "Sensory Processing Challenges: Effective Clinical Work with Kids & Teens" provides more detailed strategies on how sensory issues can present as behavioral issues and how to help your child in situations at school - including recess, fire drills, lunch, writing, etc.
I HIGHLY recommended both books.

On a side note, not sure if this is valid for your situation, but my son's OT said that sometimes when my son rolls on the ground, he is seeking sensory input to regulate himself.
