Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has heard of using a scrub brush (used in hospitals for surgeons before operations) on the arms, hands, back of an autistic child? After one scrubs the childs arms, hands and legs, he or she is supposed to push the childs fingers into the joints. What I heard is that it is supposed to desensitize the childs senses such as hearing and touch. If anyone has any information on this experiment or knows who performed it, please contact me either by my personal email taryn_1@hotmail.com or through feat.
Thanks Taryn

Last place I found foam blocks it was at IKEA,
believe it or not. You can also try Scholar's
Choice, but they tend to be pricey.

Room # 2290 – 2292

Individuals of all experience levels, including therapists, parents, teachers and teaching assistants can benefit from attending.
