Suit therapy for global apraxia?

[Guest guest]

Hello,  Has anyone had any success with suit therapy?  We're thinking of trying

it.  My daughter just turned 4 and is cruising and non-verbal.  Thanks  Tara

Spio is another brand that PT use with kids who have hypotonia. We considered it

for my daughter as it is a lighter material and cooler than theratogs but

decided to hold off on it for a while.

Bek,

Yes see the following link for the FAQ about who can use the spio suit. The

material is very light and its almost like those short sleeve bathing suit shirt

type of material if you know what I am talking about? Some places have samples

of it and you can have your child try it on and experiment to see if there is

benefit to it or not. I've contacted the company before and the customer

service response was pretty good. They told me who had it and how close to me

the places were located.

Hope that helps.
