With Zachary's sensory issues the best thing ever was brushing.. the best thing, he is a different kid now that we did that...

My Zachary has ST and OT. We are striving for music therapy and PT.
Overall, I think the best experience my son has had is family encouragement and early intervention through social groups via early headstart.
I don't think so far ST or OT have offered many improvements, but also believe they have not hindered in any way either. I am very optimistic on improvements in therapies. (new school year vs summer therapy)
I have seen the most progress when my son has an opportunity to interact with peers and do free play.
He starts preschool in a few weeks and I am torn on whether a small classroom consisting of others with similar issues is truly what is best vs. socializing with neuro typical peers.
We'll have a new iep before then, so I'll let you guys know.
