I want to find out if anyone has done sesory integration for their child and where did they go and if it had any benifits?
I am considering sensory learning clinic but it is very expensive

My son started Sensory Integration Therapy with the OT and ST at our elementary school when he turned 3, 2 days a week. It made a huge difference, he overcame most of his sensory issues or at least made them tolerable for him. This was of course free. He is now 9 and in 3rd grade and they still work with him on some lingering SID issues. He has benefitted greatly from the SID therapy at our school and have had no need to seek outside private pay services. When he was evaluated at SParks they agreed that our school(Springville Elementary) and the two therapists he sees there are doing a great job.

First I'd find out if your child has significant enough delays for the school to provide services, if not, you are probably on your own. I will be taking my 7 yr. old AS son to a lady at Children's South on Acton Road. She comes highly recommended by a speech therapist we recently used. She is quite hard to get in with (you have to be persistant. I know other Aspie parents who have had tremendous success with her. I will email you her name.

My son has severe sensory integration dysfunction. Starting a sensory diet made a tremendous difference. Within three days we saw overall improvement. We were unable to find anyone in Alabama who could help him, so he sees Dr. Mili Cordero in Atlanta. She oversees his therapy by video between visits, and I do the sensory integration at home. It's easy to incorporate into his floortime sessions and it's working great!

What area are you in? Is this by Anniston. We might be moving there soon, and my daughter will need this. She has ST and OT twice a week and DT once a week. TIA

Hi, Springville is north east of Birmingham. Between Trussville and Ashville, south of Gadsden.
We are in St. Clair County.

Anniston is Northeast of us, nearer Pell City.
