I have a challenge.  (Even more than the burns.  J   )  I will

be working with a very gifted almost 6 year old boy.  These are a brief

sampling of his “issues” : 

 

Tactile Sensitivity:  ½ the

time over sensitive other under…not simple case of one or the other. 

Distressed at ADL’s  such as face washing, hair brushing; hot cold etc

Under responsive/seeks sensation:  Makes

noise for noise’s sake.  Hyperactive, Some repetitive motion.  Wants to

be touched a lot.

Auditory filtering/sensitivity:  Can’t

function if there is a lot of noise.  Speaks in loud voice when everything is

quiet.  Sensitive to loud noises

Visual Sensitivity/processing:  Has visual

acuity, refractive, ocular motility and binocular integration issues that are

being treated with vision therapy. 

Gross Motor:  Behind for his

age.  Very challenging but has good self image in this area

Attention Issues:  Always had

incredibly long attention span, until recently.  Since binocular vision has

emerged he has become very distractible.  Can’t stay focused on

activities he loves. 

Emotional stuff:  Needs to

know what to expect.  Needs advanced warning if anything out of ordinary will

happen or will melt down.  Difficult with transitions.  Very strong attachment

to parents.  Needs lots of decision making control.  Difficult recovering from

disappointment or frustration.

 

I have to be sure that he doesn’t have ANY sense he

has any problems. He is EXTREMELY astute and will understand everything I say

and ask questions if he does not. He must be engaged as if it is a game to

teach him new ways to do things, Like better trampoline bouncing or better

imaginary games with his mother or something he really loves. He gets very

worried immediately if he thinks something is wrong with him (even a bruise can

send him into hysterics for fear it means something terrible).

 

So Guys, my bag of tricks is energy medicine, and EFT.  How

the hell am I going to do this without setting off alarms?  And how can I help

him the best? 

 

I’m a quick learner so any ideas will be appreciated.
