Tactile defensiveness
by Jane Williams
(Melbourne)
My son's best friend has SPD and in particular, tactile defensiveness. My son really likes his friend but he ends up routinely with scrapes and bruises from being hit, pushed and even kicked. What can I do (and what can he do -both are only 6) to stop my son being hurt without losing his friend's friendship?
