Excellent job explaining SI.  I was avoiding that question because I didn't 
know how to put it in words.  

We have decided to inquire about private therapy for at least the summer 
months.  We did a sensory profile at school and it was very interesting.  
Emily has many many areas of concern.  I think now it's important to see a 
therapist to find out exactly what input she needs to help versus what I 
think and possibly over or under stimulate her.  Interesting Stuff!!  

Maybe this will help with some behavior problems we have been experiencing as 
well.  Although Ritalin once a day has really improved her agitation level.  
Even with one dose a day she seems much clamer during tantrums and other 
situations.  School has reported improvement during morning groups as well.

I have also been really inclined to pursue neuropsych testing.  I spoke with 
my neighbor who is a neuropsych at Children's Hospital.  He said we really 
need to talk first and make sure it's for the right reasons.  I really feel 
like I would like a bigger picture of her abilities without behaviors or 
attention deficits problems interferring.  What other reasons have any of you 
had this testing for??
