An Update

Hey friends!

Wow it has been a long time since I've even thought about blogging. The truth is, I wanted to document this journey about Riley and SPD but it has taken a lot of learning curves and watching to really understand how severe and how we integrate his SPD with the rest of life. It has not been easy but it definitely has been a rewarding and great adventure.

Riley's eating has finally taken a turn for the better. He is not quite 20 lbs (at his 2 year doctor visit) but he definitely is braver in trying new foods and isn't as defiant.

I would say that he is almost completely integrated in other areas. He uses his WHOLE HAND to experience and touch things which is amazing. We saw this change about 2 months after we began messy play and therapy.

He takes gymnastics to help with his vestibular issues and does some feeding therapy.

The best thing yet is that we as parents have been well equipped with techniques and ways to help him. It has been really interesting learning about SPD but now I feel like I fear it less and love it more.

To all moms out there who have questions about SPD< please feel free to FB message me =)
