I say no because she's so accident prone. The swing should do the trick but it hasn't been delivered yet. We did Grandview when she was little. Now we work with Dr. Kirkpatrick in Uxbridge. I will call theme about the seminar. That will help.CJ Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106214882283938274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-2532380116523590772017-02-08T13:41:01.879-05:002017-02-08T13:41:01.879-05:00Wow.

He's generally pretty good at letting us know what things he does or doesn't like. But, he rarely ever talks about what he does at school, so who knows. We know he has sensory issues. And we try to do our best to help him deal with them. We bought a swing and a trampoline, and he loves both. We find it's a matter of trial and error with products like that. Some things help, some things don't. Have you been to, or has your doctor recommended Grandview? We attended a Sensory Processing Disorder seminar there not too long ago. Very informative.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262899350312093867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-3835766476257090742017-01-26T06:38:06.963-05:002017-01-26T06:38:06.963-05:00That's great advice and a route I decided to t...That's great advice and a route I decided to take. We bought the swing together. It arrives Friday. She's very excited. And it's true that although her autism causes her challenges, she's far better off than othersCJ Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106214882283938274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-72990494748251843782017-01-25T15:27:53.101-05:002017-01-25T15:27:53.101-05:00My suggestion is that if it's clear she's ...My suggestion is that if it's clear she's been doing her own research, and has identified an Autism chair as potentially helpful for her, have her show you which one she wants. There's probably dozens of products claiming to be sensory chairs, but if she wants one that is more like a hammock, or more like a box, or like a hang-glider, or whatever, if she picks it, it will probably be more successful than you trying to guess.<br /><br />It's great that she is high functioning. I'm sure it's helpful to have her perspective. My brother in law is so low functional that he's non-verbal. When he gets frustrated, like REALLY frustrated, he bites his clothing and breaks (or even pulls out) his teeth. I wish something like this would be useful for him, but he won't sit still long enough to use it.<br /><br />Best of luck.MATTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-28780793973232874492017-01-24T19:39:55.750-05:002017-01-24T19:39:55.750-05:00You know what?

I know three families who were affected by childhood illnesses (two brain cancers and one leukemia), two of which resulted in slow and horrible deaths. So I'm sure your daughter's challenges are causing a lot of stress for your family right now, but put things in perspective and be thankful that she's healthy. I have no doubt that your family will find a way to make her time at school more comfortable.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160376382277488872noreply@blogger.com
