Do you think it's the sensation of the rocking movement that he likes? I don't have much to suggest than maybe a rocking chair? Gives him the sensation of rocking without him physically doing it, if that makes sense?
Hi, also not much advice, but I know you can get these sensory type cushions that they kids can sit on, which move a little bit. A friend who is a kindergarten teacher has some in her room for particular students and when the kids move to primary school, they try and make sure that they have one at their new school. I'm not sure how it works, but something to do with some kids needing that extra sensory input and getting this through the wobbly cushion, (which stops them needing to jump up and move around during class). I'm sure the OT will have some suggestions. PM me if you want me to chase this up for you and get more details.
meow - tell me more about this - i dont think DS has adhd but i do think he may have dyspraxia... are there dietary links? he has a vey healthy diet, but i hav noticed reacts to sugar/colours
Have you tried any weighted items? DD2 is a movement (vestibular) seeker. Suggestions from the OT were the seat suggested above, a weighted lap blanket & doing things like adding a couple of rocks to her school bag for the walk home to give her the pressure she needed to calm her before she got home & lost it.
