[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with this, and it sounds like you have a good understanding of your child.  I have a similar (though younger) child, and one thing you might think about is whether Occupational Therapy could help your child acquire more skills in managing those extra inputs.  Our daughter has always been "on the bubble," so to speak, in terms of whether or not she would even qualify for OT, but we finally went ahead and got a private assessment, and it confirmed that while there's nothing wrong, per se, she is highly sensitive and OT can help her develop better sensory integration skills and coping techniques.  I'm so glad we listened to the advice of other parents of highly sensitive, gifted kids and went ahead with the OT.  While our school is really great at supporting social-emotional development and highly sensitive kids, this was just outside their skill set.[/quote]

PP, this is great advice. Can you recommend an OT experienced in working with highly sensitive, gifted kids?  [/quote]
