It is costly, and yes, because we homeschool I do not get services through the school district. Homeschooling isn't sometihng I'm willing to trade for therapy at this point, but as always, it requires prayerful thought of course. <br /><br />As for why OK, my husband has family there, so that's why we would pick that particular state. He is actively looking right now, so it could be any time, we hope before summer at the very latest. Also, the cost of living there is better, so we can hopefully save more and eventually own a home, etc. <br /><br />Lori--Spinning isn't one of Little Bean's main stims, but he does enjoy spinning for comfort, relaxation, enjoyment, and is fascinated with spinning objects (tops, wheels, swivel chairs and stools, etc. The way it was explained to me is that if a child is spinning and then saying, "Look at me, mom!" etc, then it's probably not stimming. If they are doing purely for their own enjoyment/need/comfort then it's probably stimming. I don't think the amount of time spinning is as relevant as WHY the behavior is happening. Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841297851874457415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231876981906489792.post-88271836626002702332011-01-11T08:46:15.720-08:002011-01-11T08:46:15.720-08:00I have a question regarding your son's spinnin...I have a question regarding your son's spinning. Did it just appear as something that he enjoyed doing or that he did when he was overwhelmed or both. My son spins when overwhelmed and for enjoyment. But he does so for L-O-N-G periods of time. Just curious....Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478311698479773376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231876981906489792.post-73538089933573433632011-01-11T05:52:09.711-08:002011-01-11T05:52:09.711-08:00Wow.

...Wow. The therapies sound effective...and costly.<br /><br />Is he not eligible for services through the school district because you homeschool?<br /><br />How soon are you considering moving? Is it something that is the goal one day in the near future or sometime in the next few years? Why Oklahoma? Family?Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.com
