My sons name is Alex,he just turned 15 on St Patrick's Day. We began our journey when he was only 16 months old,when I felt he was behind.We went from doctor to doctor,until a diagnosis of sensory integration was agreed upon,with him also having a hearing loss.We did physical therapy,occupational therapy and speech including sign language.He had an IEP through school,which he just graduated out of last month.He also has bad vision with astigmatisms. We still have our good and bad days but, he is mainstreamed at school and doing fair.He is very much a loner but at the same time so full of knowledge,at times he surprises me.He is my world and I love him to pieces.He is often misunderstood and can be short tempered,but at other times he can be the most loving, caring, affectionate child.He tends to worry about others alot.
