To help you have a further understanding of autism i wanted to occasionally share therepey techniques with you. Allot of Elijah's therapy they make him do is a lot of fun! This is an 8ft long fabric tunnel. Because autistic children often get overwhelmed with their senses, and the world around them, a secluded dark place often helps them escape and re group.
can you tell he hates it? lol. Ever since he has started OT, there has been a huge change in him. We are trying to teach him how to deal with his over reactive sensory system and how to deal with it independently. And its going great. I love seeing things that work, and have results! So here ya go, one of the therapy's Elijah does!
I love your blog and reading about the challenges you guys go through. You are such an encouragement to me!
