[QUOTE="SRL, post: 257058, member: 701"] Since this is causing him problems now, I would suggest sending in writing a letter to his teacher and his case manager saying two things: 1) that you believe his current issues with clothing are sensory related and that you would like the school to approach it from that standpoint as opposed to punishing him for bad behavior. I'd include a blurb like you did above which suggest other sensory struggles he's having so they just don't think you're looking for an excuse. 2) request an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. Honestly, if I were in your shoes I would also pursue a private Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. Kids respond much better to the therapy if the strategies are done on the homefront and the school won't help you there. If he's recently upped his sensory responses, then what he's probably trying to tell you is that the sensory assault has risen for him and he's looking for ways to combat it. He more likely needs therapy to help bring him in balance and to learn socially acceptable ways of countering the assualt. Check out the book "The Out of Sync Child" by Carol Kranowitz. [/QUOTE]
