Hello
My son has recently started Kindergarten and seems to be more sensitive to sounds
He was diagnosed PDD-NOS a year ago, school does not recognize a diagnosis and has him under "developmental delay" category since he is very "borderline" and while some specialists see ASD in him, others do not. He does have IEP, and teacher's assistant helping him through transition period. He is in regular kindergarten room, will be pulled out for a "social group" twice a week, and for speech therapy as well. Speech will be primarily in his classroom.
Since he started half-day Kindergarten, he seems to be more sensitive to noise (he went to daycare before, full-time). While most of the time he is doing well, today he had a few "small meltdowns" (noise-related), but was able to gain control of himself pretty quickly.
I wonder if OT will be helpful - Kindergarten teached suggested we do eval at school....we were planning to do some private as well. Can you please offer your expertise on OT? Thing is, his sensory issues come and go, a couple of years ago he would have a meltdown when he got paint on his hands, now he does it on purpose, same with mud, sand, what have you
He also seems to have more "control issues" lately. (Insists on doing something specific and will not compromise). Could it be a transition thing?
Thank you in advance for your help
