Sensory Issues

QC since he was really little has had issues with touching many things. Starting with grass, he would flip out if it touched him. He didn't like sand either, making trips to the park interesting.
   We have had some success' with these issues in the last year. QC now loves the park and loves to play in the sand, there was lots of freaking out and trying again to get him ok with that texture. 6 months ago we started working with sensory boxes and I credit it to the recent success of play dough. He finally got over his dislike of it and is starting to play with it. He still get's annoyed if it sticks to his fingers but hey a little time and he will like it too. This is the same boy who can't stand his hands to be dirty or sticky. Our first attempt at puffy paint was pretty much a disaster. There was an all out melt down over that one. Carving pumpkins this last fall was also a cause of the melt down. I have faith that in time he will be ok playing with all of this stuff.
