Hi Patty, I would love to bounce ideas around with you. I find the children with severe disabilities my greatest challenge. As a traveling OT I feel that my job (to a certain degree) is to fit into the exsisting program. In some ways the severly mentally handicapped have the most needs, but they are also the most difficult effect with treatment. The program at the school I'm at has a sensory motor group program established for most of the children with developmental disabilities. I think it is a really good program and probably one of most effective approaches, still I have getting this population to participate. They certainly have their own agendas.
Looking forward to hearing from you again. I have been wondering if we should be sending this to the group or should we chat privately?
