Therapeutic
Programs
In
the course of treatment for Sensory Processing Disorder, and related
regulation/processing type disorders, there are options for companion
programs that may enhance ongoing Sensory Integrative therapy. In
this section we
will discuss and share information about many programs we feel have
been beneficial to our kids.
In all cases, a parent or adult needs to discuss additional or
alternative treatment
options with their doctor, therapist or professional who oversees
treatment.
INTERACTIVE
METRONOME:
(IM) is a
cutting-edge neurological assessment and treatment tool that is
redefining traditional expectations for pediatric and adult therapy
outcomes. Research based, interactive program we highly recommend
as one of our favorites. Adaptable to meet a patient's individual
needs in functionality, and positive results in improving attention,
timing, sequencing, motor control and more. Watch for an additional
page
on this site, with more in depth detail about this very popular and
effective IM program. Coming soon! IM

How
Does Your Engine
Run? The ALERT Program
For working on an
adult or a child's regulation of levels of arousal (alertness) many of
our families have been very happy with the increased awareness and
results of this valuable program. "The book, How Does Your Engine Run? A Leader's
Guide to the Alert Program for Self-Regulation (Williams & Shellenberger, 1996),
describes an innovative program that supports children, teachers,
parents, and therapists to choose appropriate strategies to change or
maintain states of alertness. "
Tool
Chest: For Teachers, Parents and Students
"The Tool Chest
handbook is filled with activities and
designed to be used at home or at school, with students aged 4-13. As
even the most difficult children respond to these techniques, they
become happier, more confident, and more accepting of both instruction
and others' differences. Tool Chest: For Teachers, Parents and
Students provides 26
fun, practical, easy to use
activities." Great company doing good work with families all over
the US. Check their web site for more products that would be
beneficial.
