Your t should be able to provide strategies to help you in dealing with your son's behavior as well as training his behavior to be more positive. If she is not trained to do so, then perhaps you need to ask your t for a reference in order to find someone who is trained to help you.
When you are able to tell your t how you feel about the appointment changes, she will be able to help you in dealing with this. Also, we all wish we could get through our problems on our own, and maybe one day we will, but for now, that is what therapy is for!

Thanks Bluemountains. I do remember 3 being hard with my daugher too, but definitely not this hard. My son went from basically deaf to hearing once he had surgery and ever since he's had a very hard time adjusting. I'm trying so hard to keep my cool but it's wearing me down. Thankfully I have plenty of outside support through his school, OT, developmental ped & regular ped., play therapist as well as my T.
She doesn't know a whole lot about SPD but has shown great interest and told me she wants to take a training class on it to learn more and help me with him. I've also bought a book that I'll be giving her next week about SPD and hoping she can gain some insight.
I'm not sure who came up with terrible two's because three's are much much worse.
