[quote=Anonymous]DS is 3 and has been in PEP for a few month now.  He is doing OT, speech, and physical therapy in PEP and we are also doing private OT.  He has major speech delays and seems to have some sort of sensory processing disorder.  He often is unaware of surroundings, in terms of other people/kids and objects and would bump into them.  He also hits other kids and adults (he will come up and just all of a sudden push you with a lot of force).  The physical therapist noticed that he has problems sitting straight too. The PEP OT and the private OT have tried a number of things (weighted/compression vests, rocking chairs, etc.), but nothing seems to help and he refuses to try most of those things.  In addition, after each OT session, he seems to be more hyper. He also has a very short attention span when it comes to things he doesn't like (e.g. group activities at the table).  Further, any deviations from normal patterns/schedule drive him crazy (e.g. going to a different room than his normal classroom).  I don't know what else to try and I have no idea what he has (ASD, ADHD, sensory processing disorder).  He is very social and loves being around other kids and no repetitive behavior so I don't think it is ASD.  Maybe it doesn't matter whether he gets a diagnose right now, but I just want to be able to help him more. [/quote]
