Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 In response to question posted on this list (I think under " miscellaneous " ): Yes, we have done both brushing and joint compression with Danny. We have done it at home, and his occupational therapist does it. We use a soft plastic brush for the brushing, which we took with us from an Intensive Care Unit at the hospital (designed to be used to scrub your hands and fingernails before entering the ICU). Danny was very orally defensive and tactically defensive--hated to be touched, to have anything in his mouth, etc. I don't know if this therapy helped any, but Danny has improved in these areas. I think these are fairly standard types of therapies, and seem to be pretty harmless/worth a try... -Mike Schwartz in Ventura, California, father to 27-month old twins (CHaRGE) and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
