<t>my son, peyton, is 4. recently, he's started complaining about everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, feeling uncomfortable. i know at this age, whining is natural, but does anyone else's bpi children have any particular touch sensitivity? when he was an infant, he preferred bumpy-type material. is i...

denise,
i'm not really sure. peyton received intensive therapy for one week after his cast came off. then we took him to an ot in our area. i bet if you call the shriners closest to you, they's tell you. good luck!

<r>Sorry I've been away for so long! I've enrolled back in school and have very little time to breathe! Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know to check out Shriners' website <URL url="http://www.shrinershq.org">www.shrinershq.org</URL>. There is an article about Dr. Kozin and Peyton's picture is with...

His elbow extension impro...

<t>Francine, I have no useful information for you. I'm not really familiar with the PHilly schools. Peyton is only 3 and will not be entering school for quite awhile: I'll be learning from all of you and your experiences. I am experienced with the PA IEP system, but not related to physical detriment...

<t>Wow. Your post is powerful-the feelings flow through the words. I have not yet reached your stage in regards to our lawsuit. Our lawyer has yet to file. Sitting where I am today, I try to remind myself that though what happened to Peyton was unjust and unfair, God has an ultimate plan for all of ...

<t>Tessie, my heart hurt when I read your post. There should be no reason why our school districts cannot accomodate our children. I guess I get sort of fired up about this because I work in an alternative education setting where approximately 60% of our students are "special education" students: mo...

Cindy, thanks! I was wondering because none of Peyton's doctors have recommended alternative therapies, but I have been reading everyone's posts about how successful alternative therapies can be. Does your insurance cover any of the reflexology/mayofacial release?
