[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up “proprioceptive input” to understand what is going on with her. [/quote] This. She is seeking deep pressure and joint compressions and, in general, the kinds of input that help her understand where her body is in physical space. She's touching others by accident because she doesn't know where her own body is, or on purpose because she's seeking pressure to orient herself. She lacks the impulse control to stop, due to the ADHD. You need a special needs OT.

They may provide the input she is craving. [/quote]
