Sensory integration disorder

Don’t have a ton of advice, but from what I’m reading I wouldn’t put too much weight on what her dr says at this time; like you, it sounds like normal 2yr old behavior! My son is 6yrs old and is sensitive to sounds and still a picky eater (either it’s a texture thing or just plain being picky) but his dr has never pegged it as a sensory disorder. I’m sure you’re doing a great job with your little one, give yourself credit! Maybe practice with her when she does point at something to make her hand/fingers into just one finger when pointing. It just takes repetition/practice!

I worry about things like this with my tiny person. Apparently she’s supposed to learn to wave soon. Who the hell waves? And who points?

It’s possible I’m a weirdo, who will raise a weirdo baby. And it’s also possible these are stupid tests.

thank you so much! Makes me feel a lot better🩷

you make some good points😂 thank you

A lot of these milestones are just based on averages and your daughter might be developing at her own pace.
I wouldn’t stress too much about it, but I do think you should incorporate some exercises into your play time. Just like some other folks have recommended, teach her how to point, show it, repeat multiple times etc.

I was worried that my daughter wasn’t turning on time while her peers were already getting from their back to stomach easily. I had to show it to her a couple times and she started doing it within a few days. I was expecting that she’d do this on her own (I’m sure some kids do, maybe?) but my kid just didn’t even know it was a thing until I showed it to her. So I started looking stuff up online re: helpful exercises with babies for my daughter’s age and what milestones we’re supposed to be hitting and I incorporate some of it into our routine play time now.

Trust me, nobody knows what they’re doing 🙂 but there’s a ton of info online that can help. Good luck!
