I have seen evaluators brush troubling behaviors under the rug because they are just part of "giftedness," when, in actuality, those behaviors are part of a larger issue. The intellectual capacity can mask other symptoms, I have found. One of my children has been assessed beginning at age 15 months and virtually every year after that but only found to have a "diagnosis" at 6.5 years. That is frustrating. Stick to your guns; if you see sensory processing issues, keep seeking OT now. I wish I would have known about SPD years ago and been able to start treatment then instead of waiting for years and years for "uneven development" to catch up.<BR/><BR/>My soapbox for the day!Elizabeth Channelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694334658055229350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429782705226400442.post-20607989573286229442009-01-27T15:45:00.000-08:002009-01-27T15:45:00.000-08:00I'll a prayer to that one for you.Best wishesI'll a prayer to that one for you.<BR/>Best wishesMaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828186178060722812noreply@blogger.com
