Child suffering from PTSD/Sensory integration

[Guest guest]

It sounds like an extension of sensory integation techniques, used often in the

treatment

of other brain disorders. Check out this website (one of many from an

occupational

therapy practice) http://brighttots.com/sensory_integration.html

 

This " brushing technique " is common for de-sensitization, and used for self-care

at home.

Combining it with meridian therapy is a great adaptation.

 

You would use a new brush on each child.

 

There are many other techniques for sensory integration in occupational therapy

(not to

mention the need for comprehensive assessment) so a knowledgeable referral and

concurrent treatment would optimize both modalities,
