We had him evaluated by an OT that specializes in Sensory Issues and she confirmed that he did not have a problem with sensory processing, rather it had to do with a problem in his motor planning. His inablility to preform simple tasks (eatting, walking correctly) led him to act out in non-traditional ways (scratching skin, excessing meltdowns, etc). We worked with the OT for about 8 weeks and he is now completely back on track. Just want to throw it out as a possibility. If your child does have sensory issues, the book is loaded with helpful information, tips and advice.
