Great news@!  I just received this from Janae at Easter Seals Occupational Therapy.  Due to a few cancellations they had some spots open up for the Wiggly Worm OT group starting July 2nd.  This group is being funded by grants and so there is only a $40 supply fee.  I am sure these spots will fill up right away so act fast if you are interested.  Crew did this class and LOVED it.  This is the class that they used to make the OT movie on Sensory Processing Disorder and Autism.

 

 



Our next Wiggly Worm Sensory Class is starting on Tuesday July 2nd
We have a few spaces left!

Here is what you will gain in this 8 class series:

-A better understanding of each of the sensory areas and how they function
-Ability to recognize sensory processing issues in your child
-A personalized set of easy and effective strategies you can use at home to make your child's world more sensory friendly place and make your every day life easier

The Autism Hope Foundation Support Group

Wed. June 19th

Guest Specialist:

 

Madelyn Mauer, Occupational Therapist

Easter Seals SLC, Primary Children's Hospital

 

 

Does your child experience difficulty with self-control  in the form of anxiety or anger?  Do they have meltdowns  triggered by sensitivity to sounds, lights, textures, smells or body awareness? Do you see repetitive soothing physical exercises such as hand flapping, rocking, spinning, jumping up and down, or touching things over and over?

 

Come learn how OT (Occupational Therapy) can help your child with autism.

 

Please bring your children (siblings welcome) to participate in an activity facilitated by a trained autism therapist.
