What is Sensory Processing Disorder? and what is all this talk about how OT's work with Sensory Integration with children?

As an occupational therapist I see children every day that have been diagnosed somewhere on the autism spectrum, or with sensory issues as well as Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, developmental delays and many other disabilities as well.

A soldier in his unit took the vaccine and had a terrible reaction so when it was his turn he refused. At first he was given a dishonorable discharge but later he finaly recieved a honorable discharge. I commend him for standing up for what is right and true. NOW THAT IS A TRUE SOLDIER AND AMERICAN!!!!!!

We got in the broccoli and the cauliflower. He read and spoke "broccoli" but had to have help with the cauliflower tag. That was interesting because the cauliflower tag had a picture and the broccoli tag didn't. So I know he was reading.

But a new trend is emerging which is odd. He's actually trying to stay out of the dirt. Unless of course he has new shoes on and wants to get me in trouble with his mother.

Well, that worked out. He watered thoroughly and systematically without any direction.

It's time to plant in many parts of the country. At least cool season crops. And though I haven't had much luck in directing my son's attention to helping we have discovered something new. Son LOVES raw broccoli and cauliflower. Kid can eat an entire head of cauliflower in one sitting.

So I am trying to make the connection that plant A = cauliflower in time. It doesn't look like cauliflower/broccoli now, and I fear for its early harvest once it does, but at least I found another motivator and a healthy food.
