I would like to see if that is something our OT would offer, as only heard of it on utube videos by Boston PT.

Hi, after several hours of research, I found this:

Sensory Diet Exploration: Activity Checklist (just download). I have sent mine to my email to print at work.

ot-innovations.com/clinical...

Second from the bottom of list (I looked at the book review but I think a lot will go over my head, so I am starting with the basics).

It may help people to identify calming/distraction techniques whilst awaiting assessment (if they are lucky to be offered one). They can explore with "sensory meals" and "sensory snacks" (naurally in a safe environment, I would suggest seated if alone/activity possible and attempting the standing/moving activities with a loved ones).

I found a link to a sensory check list (60 questions, think works in a quadrant). Have emailed publishers to see if I can get a copy (as a lot of resources only available for OT's etc).

I think we need specialised OT's to do sensory training, which I believe is currently more often used with autistic patients , esp children. My neuropsychiatric trained OT only wants to talk, to provide 'education and management' ......., which has very limited outcomes.. Maybe your son has a more practical one who might be open to some sensory activities?

Maybe, I am not so sure, esp as they are so busy. They concentrate on people needing help with daily tasks, presenting with symptoms all the time but I can ask the question. The last time I called them was to say we weren't home and the answering machine said something about if we don't get back to you within in 4 weeks ... which I thought, really!
