Look into a weighted blanket, bean bag chair, anything to help your child feel "contained". When a child with spd has too much stimuli they feel like they have no control of their environment. Being snug under a weighted blanket or in a bean bag chair helps them center themselves and calm down. Our son was experiencing so many meltdowns that we took him to a psychologist to see if there was more going on than spd. She confirmed that coping skills were essential to reduce the number of meltdowns. He needed to understand that he can't control everyone and everything. He's 10 yrs old and it took several years to get a handle on his meltdowns. If your child is old enough, ask them to gauge their anxiety on a 1-10 scale. He's able to communicate what his level is and knows that when its approaching 8, 9 or 10, he needs to remove himself from the situation and take a breather. Even though he still has anxiety, his meltdowns have pretty much stopped. This whole disorder is overwhelming at times...Hope this helped.
