Our son, 3 yrs old, has been evaluated as highly gifted (9 yr old level), but the beh. evaluator did not want to "label" him with anything till he got older and can diagnose him better. We have always suspected SPD movement issues although we forgot to ask the eval.- no fear, HUGE daredevil, social problems, ALWAYS hyper, needs a tornado strength force in playing, etc. Do you have any resources for overlapping issues like gifted/SPD? I am supposed to be writing a review on my blog but got so caught on your site! I will certainly be back!

My little boy at 6 is showing signs of SPD and although we havent made a formal diagnosis, his OT agrees that he is very sensory seeking. In our first session with SPD as the focus, she made had him doing many activities, that on the way home he said to me "thank you for taking me to Amanda" - the very first time he really enjoyed any therapy session. <br /><br />You have some fabulous info on your blog and I have saved it for later reading as my brain is a bit fried right now.<br /><br />There was mention of a facebook group - is that your name or is there a separete group?? <br /><br />I had another question but it has slipped by, but many thanks for reposting. <br /><br />JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103468879639388287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-59983948396312953992010-07-17T10:28:02.897-07:002010-07-17T10:28:02.897-07:00Hi Joyce,

Honestly, I was the<br />first one to diagnose her after googling some of her "quirks". I then had to get a referral from her pediatrician for an O/T. I found the O/T myself online.<br />At the time this was the only O/T I found that seemed to know about SPD. However, she is not certified to administer the SIPT test. In doing research I discovered that the SIPT test is not meant to be administered on a then 21month<br />old, so I made an appt. to see this O/T. Three months into our sessions, I feel we are not a good match.<br />On our first appointment, the only thing she did to asses my daughter was ask her father and me a questionnaire about certain behaviors. During the sessions<br />I sit with the O/T while her assistant(s) "play"(do o/t stuff) with my daughter. We never have the same assistant, and my daughter hasn't taken to any of them. She has to get used to new assistants every session and they really can't get her to do much of anything on the sessions because she is always running back to<br />me for reassurance.<br /><br />All this, just to ask of anyone out there that had a toddler diagnosed with SPD?<br />What sort of initial evaluation was done?<br /><br />Thank you so much for all your help. This group is quickly beginning to be a<br />life line.<br /><br />Sincerely<br />RuthMaking Sense of the Senseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416667909100637341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-85556517151721051012010-07-15T06:16:29.915-07:002010-07-15T06:16:29.915-07:00This IS a great post.
