Before I forget...

I need to update a couple things on here.
Jace is first.  
In light of the road block we encountered with the ENT route, his OT suggested I start doing what's referred to as "astronaut training" everyday with him for his balance issues.  Hoping this just takes care of it so I don't have to go fight another battle.  My patience is wearing thin with these guys and their never ending ego trips and not looking at the blasted file.
There's that other thing that's been recommended by his neurobehaviorist, but I'm honestly feeling leery of it.  Not sure why, so we'll just go with the one that makes the most sense for now, and that's his therapist's suggestion.

Damon's OT made a suggestion too.  He's been learning a technique called therapeutic listening (seriously) that involves listening to music with very high or very low tones in the background that influences body movement. He immediately thought of all three of my boys.  Yes, the therapists are that involved in our lives.  Even though they may only treat one of my boys, they see and interact with them all regularly.  And the big thing here, they care.
It's not just music, it of course requires special headphones because the tones are such that regular headphones wouldn't handle it.  But from what I've learned about it, it really sounds like something they'd benefit from.
Excited to implement it.
