How do i get my daughter to stop holding her poop in? She is almost 3...doctor says it's behavioral...any suggestions???
My son did the same thing because his poops were so hard they hurt. We now give him "Lil Critters Fiber gummies" every day. Problem solved. Pear juice is good too.
Hi, my son is referred to SOS for his extreme oral defensiveness to feeding, only eating 2 kinds. Do your children have this kind of treatment approach? How do the therapist do it? What advice and technique do they tell you so your kid with autism and sensory processing disorder eat new food?
Hi, I was in the same boat until few months ago. My son only survived on milk. He had so many oral sensory issues. We started taking him to a feeding Therapy here in CA when he was approaching his… read more

My in-laws get very frustrated with my son. My mother-in-law(who's lives with us) has said on a few occasions "can't you DO something about him!!" And variations on that during his extremely hyperactive episodes and meltdowns. I'm already frustrated and lost and feel helpless. And this isn't helping!
Well one thing I learned is that if everyone in the house isn't on board, following methods and learning about the child with autism, then things do not go well for anyone. The older generation seem… read more
Hope this answer still helps. For us, we haven't gotten the hours we need for a full time ABA program--we've just been getting about 8 hours a week due to lack of availability of therapists. Our ABA… read more

How do u know if your child needs ABA?
It’s usually the recommendation of the Dr who diagnosed. If it’s something you’re considering then you’d have an evaluation done just like with other services like speech and OT
