Owen cleared the dust allergen, so we're moving on!
Owen still has many sensory issues, particularly those pertaining to sound. He becomes easily overwhelmed in group settings. Whether this is due to the chaos and confusion that can naturally occur in a group setting , or the acoustics in certain environments, or his general discomfort of having a conversation with one person, much less a group of people, it's something that he has to cope with on a daily basis.
Dr. Boggess suggested that we test some of the allergens dealing with the Nervous System, to see if Owen has any reactions to them, since these could be related to some of the sensory issues he experiences.
We tested the following allergens: cortisal, Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), adrenal glands, body fluids, lymph glands, Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), adrenalin and inflamation.
Of these Owen had positive responses to five of them: SNS, adrenal glands, body fluids, lymph glands and inflamation.
The Sympathetic Nervous System is the part of the Autonomic Nevous System that is concerned with preparing the body to react to situations of stress or emergency. Similarly, the adrenal glands are responsible for regulating the stress response with the release of certain hormones.
Owen was treated for SNS and adrenal glands on September 2, 2009. After this treatment, Owen was extremely tired.
Hopefully this a sign of good things to come!

Our son, Wyatt, has also went through and passed many NAET treatments. He is 10 and was quite a piece of work before two interventions that really helped him. NAET was one, and the other was Auditory Integration Training. AIT is far different from music therapy or therapeutic listening. Our son used to be EXTREMELY sensitive to noise. After AIT, it was greatly reduced. AIT must be performed by a Berard certified therapist (which may be an OT or an audiologist). He also had better coping skills and was more "connected" to his surroundings.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and Owen, and continued success!
