Hi,
after some advice if possible please? My 9 year old daughter has had ongoing issues with severe dyslexia, problems making friends, walking on her toes, flapping her hands together (so much so it’s distracting her classmates) and major sensory issues. She will not wear any for of trouser, skirts with bands, tights etc. I had to buy cosyfeet shoes made for old swollen feet to give her the width and depth she felt comfortable with.
Her Senco has asked permission to discuss her with an OT but I have heard nothing several months later. My sister works in a school and says I should take her to the doctors and mention these symptoms as she’s convinced she’s on “the spectrum” (I have no idea what that means)!
Is she just a funny little thing that likes waking everywhere on her toes, has a little tic or is there something underlying? I obv know Inwont receive a diagnosis on here but I wondered if it was worth a docs appt to try and accelerate any potential diagnosis and therefore implement any treatments? I’m worried she is walking less and less on her flat feet and have heard about children whose leg muscles shrink!!! Any advice greatly appreciated.
Please note I’m quite happy to accept any of the above. She is who she is and I love her dearly. I just don’t want to leave it too late. Also our SENCO is useless!!!
