- Flat feet, wears Ortho-inserts

- Low Muscle Tone

- Gross motor skill delays, receives OT, PT once a week. Can't jump with two feet, walk up and down stairs without help.
- Sensory Integration Disorder. Hates touching two textures at the same time.
- Picky eater, we suspect because of texture, but we aren't sure.
- Speech affected by low muscle tone. Hard to understand, she has extra air
coming out of her nose because she cannot control the air flow in the back
of her throat.
- Has "spells" where she stares and is unresponsive.
- Spins objects or herself. Gets angry when you try to stop her.
- Is rigid in her daily routines.
- Socially delayed, but is making progress.
- Flaps her hands when she is excited or wants something.
- When she is angry, she is "gone". She screams, yells, and flops and is
unable to hear what you are saying.
- Does not grasp the concept "if you do ____ then you get ____" which makes
disciplining very difficult.

Tests she's had:
- Numerous X-rays to monitor her spine
- MRI on her spine, normal
- MRI on her brain to rule out seizures, normal
- Enzyme testing, I'm assuming normal because I never heard back about anything
- EEG, normal
- Hearing tests, both produced flat timp lines
- Autism Scale Rating:  22
