I am a SLP and i do not really agree with the method of this woman, i think that she should use some home activities for children with Sensory integration problems. It is really important to find the correct place for the child (NOT aside the wall) to start her therapy.

I live in a small community with limited resources, no chance of getting therapists in my home. We had to get instructional control before we could start doing more playful things, she just completely ignored everything we did at first. Please do not be so negative when things are so hard and we are doing the best we can, offer suggestions, you're comments are not helpful to us and our daily struggles, at all.

Bare in mind that Nouns are the easiest words to learn because she can make a picture in her mind of the word. To learn words like "up" the teacher should demonstrate it to her. Take a toy airplane and say "up" as you make the airplane takeoff from a desk. Some children learn better if cards with the words "up" attached to the toy , in our case the airplane. The "up" card is attached when the plane takes off. And the you can learn the "down" card by attaching it when the airplaine lands.

Thank you for your suggestions, I really do appreciate it. This was taken over a year ago and we are doing quite a few of your suggestions now, she has a swing at home, school and at her SLP's. She has a weigted vest at school, I am working on getting one for home and ST. We are using more of a play therapy approach with her now, but she gets frustrated easily with this. She would rather do table activities than have to share a toy! I am taking her to a new OT now also, help with sensory..

Wow great material! Have you ever considered making a course on this topic. There is a site out there called, to point c, where with every student that takes your course you get paid.

Have you watch Dr. Greenspan's video's? There are also many other floortime videos on u tube. Just watch them and watch this video again. The therapist isn't connected with the child. If not connected how can she teach her?

My brother is four years old and he is diagnosed with autism. its very stressful on me and my family and were trying our hardest to give him the help he needs. it breaks my heart to see him acting the way he does knowing he cannot help it. but i pray that he'll have a productive life as well as your daughter will.

I remember having this therapy since I was three. I am still speech impaired, but I have made some improvements.

excellent teaching , she has leart pointing to object, so she is doing there job perfectly, but one thing is common in these chidren they keep engage themselves during working, if they dont have any object in their hands they start to explore their body. like this cute girl she is biting her nail
