Thanks so much Debbie. This is very helpful. I agree that it is best looked at a difference. Unfortunately asking the school for a "quiet" place for work just doesn't work. That comment gets put in the "pushy overreacting mom" file the school has started for me. I wonder what they will say when I ask for swinging breaks????

I do have to say that I used to use the park as a reward for good behavior in the grocery store and after reading up on SPD I decided to start off with the park (swings and merry-go-round in particular) and then go do my shopping. Wow what a difference. The kids sit nicely in the cart or walk next to me now. I never knew their little bodies actually needed the swinging/spinning to calm down. Duh!

Anyways thanks for the link.
