[quote=Anonymous]Hi. Have you had him tested for sensory processing disorder? Working with an OT helps a lot. My son uses a dizzy disk jr (like a sit & spin w/o the handle) and it really helps "regulate" him. Ditto on the 5 min on the swing. Its not just about excess energy, but about how they receive sensory input. Check out one of the sensory websites for activities- some kids find weighted pads helpful. Chewing gum. "Heavy work" like helping you carry books, or drag the laundry basket to another room. Even if you are certain it's not his "issue" the strategies are much less invasive than meds! [/quote]
