Language delays can bring about hitting biting out of frustration and inability to communicate, but regular hitting biting behavior should be evaluated. Is he doing these behaviors outside the classroom ie to you, siblings neighbors etc?

Op again. No language delay. But my child is someone who likes adult attention and is much more used to being in smaller groups. She has hit me twice in the past couple weeks when frustrated about not being allowed to do something. I think the school instances were similar. It never happened before school started, but my child had also never been hit before school started.

This describes my child as well. I'm also at the "what do we do" stage.

We started with OT because my child really has major sensory integration issues and in his case, he was more sensory seeking and less sensory avoidance. Subsequently we discovered other things, like his auditory processing disorder.

Yes, everyone has something. The question is does it impair functioning? In DS's case, OT helped with modulation.
