[quote=Anonymous]Op here.so- our new SLP (we finally started to supplement the smart start services) suggested that the chewing might be related to hypertonia. I feel like a fool for not seeing this. He has other low tone issues (sitting up at 13 months, wreak OT scores) ect. Basically his mouth, when at rest is open. So giving him something to chew on lets him close his mouth around things and rest his facial muscles. Will also add that I'm also kicking myself because she was able to size this up in 1 hour- as where we have been in smart start for a year, and no one has even suggested this. Despite him having tested in the 'moderate risk' range for spina bifida while I was pregnant and having a sacral dimple far up his back. I feel like we are finally on the right track- bit wondering what the hell we were doing this past year. Seems like so much wasted time. [/quote]
