Ironically, we got rid of one about 18 months ago. I think we’re putting it on his Christmas list though. The winter months are so much harder when we don’t get out as much. Right now bike riding is his favorite “therapy.” Thanks for the advice!

We got ours from amazon and it’s been worth it’s weight in gold. Whenever my 4 kids (all with SPD) start “jumping out of their skin” or they just need an outlet, we send them to the tramp to jump. Thanks for posting! It helps so much to know we aren’t alone.

Cydil,
I was so surprised when I researched all the implications that crossing your midline (or not crossing it) has. That is definitely something Ty needs to work on! We’ve tried standing toe touches which are really hard (kind of like the windmill stretch). I’ll have to try the seated ones.

Thanks for stopping by!

We also let our daughter push the grocery cart while shopping and pull her brother in the wagon when we take walks. Before I heard the word ‘proprioceptive’ last fall, we thought it was a ‘control’ thing for her to do those things. Now we know it feels good! What a difference! Our daughter also has vestibular needs and we just learned last night that toe touches are really good, especially when touching the hand to the opposite toe because it crosses the midline of the body and requires extra brain processing.

It’s a great, safe place for jumping. We hide pieces of a big board puzzle inside a tub of rice. We also do lots of crafty activities that involve Play-Doh, finger paints, toothpicks and marshmallows, etc. Great post! Thanks for sharing.

Elise,
We do not have very much auditory sensitivity but have you tried earplugs? An mp3 player with comfy earphones that plays calming music that blocks out the noise that deregulates him may also help. I would suggest checking Sensational Kids and The Out of Sync Child Has Fun. Both books are great resources.

He presses his chin onto our shoulders, neck, etc during play. We started asking him to press into his own hand for ten seconds. Our OT also showed us an “excercise” where we push his joints together gently for ten counts. Shoulder to elbow, elbow to wrist, hip to knee, knee to ankle. We are also going to get him a trampoline.

He also has auditory sensitivity and some visual as well. If you have auditory issues and any ideas please share – that is our biggest area of struggle right now.

Rachel,
Please pass it on to whomever you want. That’s what it’s here. I can smell the crab already!

Could I give your website to some of my patient’s parents?

I have a few that are struggling to find support. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer or organization for information on these types of conditions. I think that support from other parents is better than any advice I can give.

So happy for you and your family! CAN’T WAIT to see you soon!
