Today we meet Dawn.
I have read everything I think could possibly help, filled out a sensory profile, and have some lists ready with behaviors/concerns. I have prayed that this one will be the right fit for DS. I am a little on edge that she will meet us AND evaluate on the same day, but as long as she is a good listener and a good professional - there shouldn't be a problem. DS is very OBVIOUSLY experiencing issues with sensory regulation. I just pray it is revealed and maybe he'll actually give her a display to observe as well. We've had the TV on today, Natalie came this morning & he won't get a nap before she gets here --- so we're well on our way to some Sensory Overload anyway....
