...a number of times a day brings some stability and smiles to a sweet face.
OT (occupational therapy) is a good thing...a very good thing.
sensory integration dysfunction...you get it, you can get a straight jacket too!

********since you asked...the compression vest is used for a few things. one is pressure throughout sofie's trunk which she desires and strives for. another thing is stability. when she has pressure, she feels more stable. so we do joint compressions and a brushing protocol as needed, but that lasts only a short time. the compression vest is like getting a long bear hug that gives you that happy place. wanna know more? let me know...sensory integration dysfunction or sensory processing dysfuntion is pretty interesting stuff...straight jackets and all!*******wordful wednesday is awesome...and you won't have to wear a straight jacket. go check out angie's for lots of other fun peeps ww's!

So what does it do, help her hold herself up right so that she can walk? Does it give her torso added strength? Just curious.
She's getting so big!! She's still a little peanut, but she looks so "growed up!"
She looks far cuter in it than I would. LOL
She is soooo adorable your littleone! Thanks for explaining...I was just going to ask...
First time I've heard of such a vest, thanks!
Happy WW! :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
Does she hate it? Or does she even notice?
She's such a doll.
Great pictures though, and she is so cute anyway.
And seriously - I could use one of those! So comfy.
So glad to see Sofie in her happy place with the vest. She's such a schweetheart and I'd love to give her a bear hug. Not too hard, of course. Precious!
Can I ask how she was dx w/SID at a young age? I wondered what symptoms she had or what led to getting that dx. Sometimes I wonder if Kayla has SID, no one's ever suggested it to me, it's just something I've wondered about. I bought the book "The out of sync child" but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Oh that's for sensory processing disorder...I'm not sure what the difference is between SPD and SID...
