[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]best therapy might be time and avoidance of triggers (in my son's case, lots of other kids, noise, activity). he is also a deep touch seeker (I still get 'attack hugs,' he was a biter, swings, crashes, jumps, etc). 
could not slow down at that age. still gets amped up, but we have strategies in place to help him regulate, and he is now aware that he needs to. Sometimes he is too amped up to put those into place, but other times he can. But at 3.5? No way. That's when we were at the dev peds, and yes, there were and still are times I think "If I give hm a pill, will all this go away?" but it is rarely so simple.

Give him time, a good atmosphere, and lots of activity in which it is okay to be energetic. I have found swimming calms him and soon we will try rock climbing. [/quote]

What specific strategies in place do you have when your son gets amped up? I ask because my son is this way (4.5 years old). Just curious what works for you. I have a whole list of sensory diet suggestions, but nothing seems to consistently work with him.
