My daughter has been through many daycares, preschools you name it she has been there. Finally when I thought I found a place for her, the teacher recently punished her for not eating her lunch by making her go to her mat and held her there for an hour and half. Obviously I am not going to send her there ever again, but here I am without a place for her.
She is very sweet she just uses her body for everything. She is a sensory seeker to the fullest. The school system refuses to help and I recently ran into a wall with a local place because they charge $600 for an evaluation. What should be my next step with my sensory seeker? What should I be doing to help her? Thanks for any and all advice! Posted on 01/21/09, 08:01 am |

My daughter swings back and forth between sensory seeking and avoiding. I try to make her a place at home where she can either "get away" or squeeze, bean bags, blankest of various sizes and material, pillows of various sizes or materials, she goes and is still and "hides" or she buries herself, or she piles them all up and jumps or falls in to them, it is a safe place for her to be still or "slam" as her body dictates
As for school and in public tell her she can touch things but not people, and one finger only, my daughter has this restriction she is compelled to touch things and to limit mess, and her knocking over shelves (lol) she may only touch with one finger Good luck!

My son started to use a Benik. I has helped him so much. He doesn't have to wear it all day but a few hours helps get him calmed down. It might be helpful for you. I don't know if you can order it yourself. But here is the website. http://www.benik.com/peds/trunk/v-100

My daughter also seeks, Try massage, and squeezes this will help,. I know with my daughter the more squeezes the better, also swinging does help..and weight, you can get a weighted blanket depending on finances if not just get a heavy comforter to lay on her she will love it...Im not sure of your financial situation, but you could check into your local Community Mental Agency they may be able to help you...

Most states should have a program for helping children with delayed disabilities...try Medicaid and then try Easter Seals...they were a big help...good luck!
