Thanks for simplistic explanations.

@OT100able Those that have worked with children, and those that have seen the progress a child can make when their needs are adequately addressed through these techniques will verify its' validity. As a pediatric OT, I wholeheartedly disagree with your statements.

Oh man! How ridiculous. OTs of the future, don't take this stuff to heart because it is what's poisoning our profession! Sensory processing here, sensory processing there. Bottom up is yesterday, folks!

I'm a pediatric OT and I think this is a great video! Thanks for educating others on SI and occupational therapy...so many people don't understand the importance of what we do.
