The Results

After an hour long evaluation, her findings were interesting, but of no surprise to me.

Corby scored high on gross motor skills.  Things like running, jumping, climbing, throwing a ball, he excels in.  He also scored high intellectually.  Reading (he doesn't really read, but that's the category it's in), numbers, colors, etc, he's in the upper percentile, but she did not give me a number.

Visit With the Occupational Therapist

Sorry it took so long to write this.  I've had some emails from people that have wanted to know how it went, and I just haven't had the time (nor desire since I've been sick) to sit here and write it.  But here I am.  :)

My First Clue

As I said in an earlier post, I knew something was different when Corby was an infant, but I had no idea what it was.  The first time mommy in me wanted to believe all of my well meaning friends and family when they said he would grow out of it, or that he was just quirky.

The Makings of SPD

So what exactly is SPD?  If you would have asked me that question six months ago, I would have had no idea.  I knew that some kids were more sensitive to noise and touch than others, but that is as far as my knowledge went.  I knew Corby was picky about textures when he was a baby, and that it continued through his toddlerhood.  I thought that was all there was to it, but I was wrong.

TheBeginning

As a new mom, I was filled with many uncertainties.  I had never been the one responsible for making sure a newborn was taken care of around the clock.  It was very difficult in the beginning.  I had no idea that what I was about to be faced with, would be more than ordinary.
