[blindkid] never stands still

[Marie]

I'm no expert on this but I'm wondering if she is filling a sensory need by this constant motion. Does she stop moving when you are talking with her or she is otherwise engaged? Perhaps providing her with other ways to gain sensory input would help.

Hi All-

My daughter (4), totally blind, has a real hard time holding still.  She is constantly in motion by fidgeting, wiggling, bouncing, etc.  She doesn't do a whole lot of rocking but she does need motion.  How do I get her to stop.

Please help!

Oh, the swimming lessons are going great!

Thanks,

Kathy
