Finally!

Ok - I have a name for what is going on with Jesse. He has the classic symptoms of Proprioceptive Dysfunction. He has hyposensitivity to sensory input. I'm doing my homework on it now. He'll qualify for Speech services and hopefully OT, as well. If not, I'll have to pay for private OT.

The good news is it is something he can overcome.

Sometimes the best thing for us is to put a name to something. I am really glad he can overcome it, fng, and I imagine it must be a HUGE relief to you too. Good luck with the OT.

Thanks JD. Yes, naming it takes so much of the mystery and frustration away. I also found out that the Speech therapist that will be servicing him at his school is the same one that serviced my older son in preschool last year. I'm thrilled b/c she is phenomenal.

As for the OT - his health insurance will cover some of it if his pediatrician writes a script (and I know she will), so even if I have to pay privately it shouldn't be too bad. I did tell them that it would be better for me if he qualifies in the school system and gets it for free (and I even played the "single mom" card to get some pity lol).

But, I'll move a mountain if that's what it takes to get him the services he needs.

I'm so glad you finally have an answer as to what is going on with Jesse and you are putting together a plan and resources to help him too! I bet you're so relieved to have information!

I have no doubt that he will be able to overcome this issue cause he has an awesome Mommy who is looking out for him and working for hard on his behalf!
