Head Phones
I can't rememeber if we have posted about this before, but when Harry is in a overwhelming situation with too much audio stimulation we have started giving him an old set of headphones to wear to block out the sound. It has helped prevent his emotional outbursts while playing greatly. It also helps him to stay calm in a otherwise over whelming environment, like the school bus.
He now has a small MP3 player that he takes on the bus with him, it has a relaxing sounds cd on it, to help him stay calm and focused. It has made the difference. His anxiety has dropped a little too, when it came time to getting on the bus or playing with his brother he always showed signs of worry about the noise level that comes with doing these things, the headphones have made it one less thing for him to stress over. I say they are a hit! success!
