Hello from the Bay Area

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I have been following emails for a couple weeks and am so impressed with the

kind support that this group offers each other. I recently joined and haven't

introduced myself. I am an OT with a private practice in Cupertino, CA. We have

two boys, now grown and in college. Our younger son has a mild hearing loss,

vertical imbalance of his eyes, scoliosis, food sensitivities and attention

problems. We have done therapeutic listening, oral motor and vision therapies -

I have gone to countless conferences and have many certificates - Beckman,

advanced therapeutic listening, Wilbarger, SIPT, cranial sacral, nutrition,

visual vestibular, yoga, etc. We have done all the general OT type therapies.

Our son functions very well and has come further than I'd ever had imagined. He

was in a special day classroom for a couple years and then had resource support

after that. He appeared to have extreme ADD and possibly bipolar disorder.

Changing his diet was most significant (GFDF - despite having no test confirm

any sensitivity). He says gluten causes ADD for him. Now working on the

reflexes we are continuing to see improvements. He is 18 years old, so it's

never too late to see results with the reflexes. I also use the reflexes in

every therapy session as an OT. I work with mostly high functioning Autism, LD,

ADD/ADHD, fine and gross motor skills. I'm seeing amazing results with the

reflexes. It seems that the reflex work is cutting therapy time approximately in

half. What used to take me 3 months to integrate with children, I'm seeing in

4-6 weeks. I will continue to take courses, as I've only been to the Dynamic

Postural Reflexes and Proprioceptive and Cognitive courses. I have recommended

family camp to many parents, although I haven't been to one yet. Is there a

calendar for 2012?

I am looking forward to learning more.

Take Care,

Judy
