Four-Year-Old with Sensory Processing Disorder Potty Trained through Pathway Programs
In the past few weeks since we have started OT with Vanessa I have seen so much improvement with my son. All of the sensory work and ideas she is giving us are doing the trick. She gave us chewelery which has helped him stop chewing his shirt. Sleeping with the bean bag chair on him has improved his sleep. And the most drastic change is that he went from sometimes going to the potty, if we sat him on it, to TELLING us he has to go. Before he didn’t know when he had a wet or dirty pull up.

My son’s feeding disorder impacted our entire family through his refusal to try normal foods, our inability to eat at restaurants, and nightly dinner battles.

When we started with Miss Jill and Pathway Programs, my 3-year-old was not using more than two words at a time and often others could not understand him. Miss Jill knew exactly where to start with him. He had 8 sessions over 3 months and was then using sentences and conversation that could be understood! It made a tremendous difference in his behavior and confidence; and the recommendations she gave helped us as parents know what we should do to keep him progressing. He just loved playing with Miss Jill! Erin R., Tyrone, GA ...
