Hi everyone,
Please bear with me, I've only learned about the vestibular sense in the last year so I am on a very sharp learning curve here... Of all the senses, this is the one that my boy (5, almost 6) seems to get the most over-stimulated with, plus he's had an official coordination assessment, which he scored just 5% in, so that's triggered another referral back to paediatrics. Obviously waiting lists are insane so I'm not expecting to hear from them any time soon.
But I just wanted to know if anyone's had experience in terms of channeling this particular area. Can kids with vestibular dysfunction (if that what he has?) be good with dance, gymnastics, sport? Any positive takes other than throwing himself around and swaying his head and getting dangerously close to the busy road? (This is obviously a very real concern that needs addressing now and not in 18 months when his appt comes in!)
Another thing... his vestibular stimming has definitely got more pronounced lately. Is this something that changes with age?
Thank you! x
