    Hi Barb,

    How are you handling all this now, it's always a bit of a shock when the paperwork comes through no matter how much we know it in our heart.

    Food issues - as in texture, taste etc even putting too much in their mouth is a sensory processing issue and is usually dealt with an OT, find a good one who deals with SPD!

    as for your partner I think it would be good to share it with him, he may not be ready to deal with it at the moment but at least you have laid the groundwork.

    I forgot to say how the martial arts thingo went!! Apparently there were 5 children, 2 martial arts experts (?? maybe just black belts dunno) and M's OT. They worked on body awareness and did heaps of "how to relate to sensai" and "respect your team" sort of things. DH went with M and loved it. So hopefully KRudd's $$ comes through so she can keep going. Otherwise we have to wait until April because we only have enough $$ for one thing per term. This term is swimming. We just don't have the $$ to do everything, as much as I want too.... damn $$. If we had a fricken diagnosis at least the OT would be covered
