Getting Help

Christopher has a few problems with sensory processing. He doesn't do well with many textures or sounds.

As a new year begins, we also started Christopher's therapy. He is working with a program called Alta Mira. They are helping him with his sensory issues. He has a developmental specialist visit our house once a week and he also sees an occupational therapist once a week.

Christopher's sensory issues are affecting his speech. He isn't saying as many words or sounds as he should be. Alta Mira has also begun to help him with his speech, just to make sure that he doesn't fall behind.

So far the therapy does seem to help. Christopher is scratching a little less then he had been and he is making new sounds. He also has some new words!
