I see your original is quite old, so hope you have received
help by now. My grandson is now nearly 16. He was diagnosed with integrated sensory disorder at 7. We worked with an occupational therapist for two years. Lots of exercises, a trampoline and spinning (tire swings are great. His coordination is still not great, but I enrolled him in a kenjitsu martial arts class several years ago and that has helped. Also, a treadmill and swimming are great for them. He is just this beginning to write quite well rather than print, though eating properly is still difficult. We have been very patient and I make sure I talk to each one of his teachers at the beginning of school. Hope you have gotten some answers which have helped. Patience, patience, patience. Also, he is on metadate for ADD. They seem to go hand in hand with ISD.
