REGION II CSPD Presents: S'cool Moves - Great Falls/Havre - Sept. 24-25 / Nov. 5-6, 2010 - 1 views

  • About S’cool Moves: S’Cool Moves is a research-based program developed by a reading specialist and an occupational therapist. S’Cool Moves brings together the best practices in educational theory, brain integration, developmental movement, and self-regulation techniques. The activities strengthen visual, auditory, sensory, and postural systems of the body. These systems need to be fully functioning for focus control and academic success. An important S’cool Moves concept requires children to assume responsibility for their behavior. When children monitor their own behavior, teachers have more time to teach and children have more time to learn. These activities flow seamlessly into the school day. Simply add sensory-based techniques to what you already use in your daily routines. Rather than TELLING children to focus, teach them HOW to focus.

Autism | The Cost of Fad Treatments in Autism | Healing Thresholds | Connecting Communi... - 0 views

  •  
    The authors note that parents really need therapies for their children that work. This review article describes two fad autism therapies: sensory integration therapy and Relationship Development Intervention (RDI). They define fad treatments as treatments that do not have quality research showing that they work. Fad treatments cost money, can be hard on the emotions of the parents, and give false hope. Many parents turn to fad treatments because they want to do as much as they can for their child as fast as they can.

20 Ideas To Create A Therapeutic Living Room | Friendship Circle -- Special Needs Blog - 0 views

  • Have you ever thought about bringing part of the therapy clinic to your living room?  Or have you wondered about making small changes to your home to make it more livable?  What about sensory integration?  Where would you start? A living room or family room is often where we spend the largest waking part of our day.  And the first step in planning a therapeutic living room is to decide if the environment should be calming or stimulating.  Then consider the type of activities for which your family typically uses the room and the space needed for specialized equipment or accessibility. Here I’ve collected 20 ideas for two types of therapeutic living rooms: a calming room and a stimulating room.  Most of these ideas come from my own home, and some are on my wish list.
