every couple of years. Pretty much to see if it's time to cut off his
services. Well, I think he needs them now more than ever, but we'll
see what happens. Javi's sensory needs have been overwhelming lately.
He needs input just about every 5-10 mins as compared to a few months
ago only needing it once an hour. He is showing much more classic
autistic behaviors as he gets older. I am not sure if something
changes in his brain as he ages or if just the demands and
responsibilites change, this is his coping technique. It could be a
combination of the two. I am going to investigate treatment options
for his sensory needs. He already does OT at school and has a sensory
diet, but these days that just isn't enough.
Hope all goes well. Javi just went back for the first part of the
eval. To be continued...

Shanna- what have you tried for sensory? Have you tried a weighted vest? (http://onestopsensoryshop.com/) A seat cushion? (http://shoponline.pfot.com/seatcushions.htm) I know the seat cushions helps Austin a LOT.
Yes, we had a weighted vest, weighted blankets, hug vest, fidgets, therabands, fidget seats, etc. Nothing has worked for too long. The hug vest worked for a short time, but the relief is just temporary.
Shanna...it sounds so overwhelming. I wish I could offer advice...but I've got zilch.
I can be here to listen though...and offer cyber support!
