The world is screaming for our attention! Every single one of us has more information trying to enter our brains on any given day that at some point we have to just tune it out and say: NO! I'm full for now and I can't take any more! I feel like that a lot Cheap Jordan Retro Shoes , but its hard to ignore it when others show their own ignorance.


Today, I was wishing that someone at my child's school had taken a few extra minutes before today to learn about Sensory Integration Disorder and the treatment that comes with it. Because when I entered the nurses offices with my 5 year old son, to request a bit of quiet time to ?brush? him with the occupational brush; this certain 'someone? asked if he had something contagious in his head.?

My son knows that he needs to get ?brushed? a lot during the next few weeks and goes along with it happily.


The clincher is that the occupational therapist told me that in order to get the optimum amount of benefit from these exercises Cheap Air Jordan , then I need to do it every 2 hours during waking hours. I'm now trying to get an appointment with the constantly booked counselor of the school. She's incredibly supportive of the alternative therapies that we have chosen to do and I know this because she isn't only dealing with us. She's dealing with several of my friends who have challenges with their own kids.


When I meet with the counselor, I'm going to ask her to help me educate some of the staff so we're not looked at like we're weird or something. I think someone tried to make me feel like I was intruding
