I'm am completely lost and don't know where to turn and what to do. Do I wait until fall when he enters first grade and let the teacher do what she wants or should I make him an appointment with his pediatrician? Like I said I am lost, could you give me a little bit of advice?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841207585780294363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159424334712756763.post-20818451521241194202010-11-16T12:05:06.590-08:002010-11-16T12:05:06.590-08:00Hi Jill,

But it is good to get answers because then your son can receive the help he needs. Having a child with SPD is challenging and rewarding at the same time. I wish you and your son good luck :)Jennifer Eganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225463186127583397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159424334712756763.post-6486882260726492202010-11-15T14:24:25.940-08:002010-11-15T14:24:25.940-08:00I too have a son who I believe has SPD.

I finally did some digging on line and SPD fit my son!! I am finally beginning to understand some of the things he does. <br />He was born 3.5 months premature and is 14 months old. He's still is not crawling, or sitting himself up, still very far from standing and walking. He can't stand for ANY texture to be in his mouth so he will not eat food, only drink. He has repetitious movements and will only handle soft things like blankets, it is a challenge to even get him to hold his own bottle, these are a few things that have tipped us off something wasn't right. <br />Thank you for letting me read about your stories as I lean how to live with a child with SPD.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329800223472038395noreply@blogger.com
