NEW OT ON DVD!!!! | Autism PDD

OT FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM - COMING SOON ON DVD September 19, 2007 "As a parent of a child diagnosed with Autism and Sensory Integration Disorder, I wanted to share what I’ve learned and what has helped our child enormously” says DVD producer Jackie Olson. “Britt Collins, our son’s Occupational Therapist, provided us with skills and tools to actively take part in our son’s early childhood intervention and it has made all the difference in our lives.”
A 2007 Centers for Disease Control report found that 1 in 150 children in America today have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many of these children also experience Sensory Dysfunction, also known as Sensory Integration Disorder. The goal of Occupational Therapy is to equip the child with life skills that will be used in their every day living.

Our DVD “OT FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM, SPECIAL NEEDS AND TYPICAL” introduces parents to Occupational Therapy (OT) and what it can do for a child who has difficulties with organization of behavior and/or Sensory Dysfunction. The program is instructed by Occupational Therapist, Britt Collins, who combines traditional OT with Applied Behavior Analysis to teach parents and caregivers various skills which can assist in desensitizing a child and help them on the path to reprogramming their brain function.

The content provided includes activities for gravitational insecurity, motor planning, vestibular dysfunction, tactile dysfunction, oral motor skills and more. Britt explains and demonstrates (with the help of three children of varying degrees of development) in both clinical and easy to follow terms.

November 30th, 2007 is the launch date for the first of TRP Yoga Special Needs DVDs, “but you can count on many more in the future, “says Jackie Olson. “The knowledge is there and we believe every family should have access and be able to talk to their physicians and intervention team about what works best for their individual child.”
