As a parent of a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, this has been a trying week. Well, last week wasn't much better.
The biggest thing I struggle with is how to help my daughter through this. Seemingly, she's doing all the recommended activities for children with SPD. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it doesn't.
My fear is that she's going to get kicked out of school for her actions. Some days are fine. Other days are awful. And there doesn't seem to be any sense for why incidents occur. Hopefully she can stay there long there. If not, the options aren't really appealing. Private School? Home school? Something else?
The something else would be the best option. Experts working with her every day on her condition. But it's in Little Rock. And it costs something like $1,200 per month. So, not only would I have to come up with $1,200, I'd have to drive her to Little Rock and back every day. That would add about $400 extra to my gas bill. I'm just not sure how feasible $1,600 a month would be. And it would be a killer from a time standpoint.
Private schools in Hot Springs might be an option. But they aren't cheap. And they don't have the experts.
Home school? Who's going to teach? Me?
It's very frustrating. Malvern is a fine place to live but it just doesn't have the available services a much larger city would have.
I love my daughter and would do anything to help her. I'm just running out of effective ways to do that.
I'm open to suggestions.
