[tri-med] Re: [tri-family] Biting

Karen,
    He ususally does this after he goes to bed and when he wakes up in the
middle of the nite he will bite his lips then scream and cry but continues
to do so. How can he get tested for sensory intergration? I know what you
mean about looking abused , matthew's lips looks like someone has slugged
him good.
