[quote=Anonymous]This sounds similar to my sons struggles. He is under 5 and while he hasn’t been formally diagnosed with adhd, he does have difficulty regulating himself to focus on things that don’t come easily to him or aren’t highly rewarding as well as auditory processing challenges.

OT is helpful for him at school, and this summer we are getting him private OT sessions with a therapist who specializes in sensory integration. He will also be doing Tomatis - an integrated listening therapy. It’s sort of a two pronged approach to help him build confidence in his motor skills so that basic school tasks and body functions come easier, and the listening training if successful helps improve language processing and learning accessibility, thereby reducing anxiety.

Obviously none of this is specific to reading, we’re very early on in the process, and some people might scoff at trying auditory therapy. But yes, in a nutshell, in a similar place and these are some of the interventions we’re trying at this point.[/quote]
