Emily Alexander has a magical secret... she works for Santa at The International Elf Service. She is also a Registered
Osteopath and a Mum to a wonderful little boy who has Down's syndrome and
sensory processing disorder.
Here she
charts how sensory integration therapy is helping her son to achieve more when
doing visual and cognitive tasks. As she points out, this intervention would not suit all children,
but if your child is displaying some of the same symptoms, it might be worth
investigating. In particular the power of jigsaw puzzles to help with visual overload is discussed.You can read more about the start of her son's journey over on her blog Sensory Processing Disorder and Our Boy with Down's Syndrome.
