OT in the HOME: (product information provided by Jackie Olson)
"Occupational therapist, Britt Collins, takes us through a host of activities of daily living (ADL's) with several children. Parents and caregivers often find themselves at a loss when children have difficulty adapting or adjusting to ADL's, such as - eating, dressing, bathing, bed-time, and brushing teeth. Britt demonstrates several sensory regulation strategies with the children that facilitate a balance to these everyday tasks. This DVD addresses sensory strategies that children and caregivers will appreciate and learn to value.
