[QUOTE="totoro, post: 81606, member: 3155"] The deep pressure technique helps kids understands where their bodies are in relation to space... for example: K has a hard time knowing how hard she is grabbing something, squezzing something. She has a need to touch a lot and hug and grab etc. No idea of her bounderies as far as where her body ends and the rest begins... This is the proprioception of the joints... when you do the compression you are helping trigger them so they become aware of pressure, touch, space etc. That is why it is important to know YOUR child... this techniques can cause a child to be sick. While K needs deep pressure, N can barely stand it... Any good Occupational Therapist (OT) will observe and help you learn where your child needs it, arms, legs etc. And to what degree. The brushing technique is for desensitizing the nerves to stimulation... for the most part, or to help stimulate the nerves on the surface level. For example: a lot of kids can not handle a quick change from shorts all summer to long pants. You would use the brushing technique to adjust the sensitivity level of the child... kind of preparing them for the pants... After awhile of brushing their legs you would put long pants on, brush before each time and pretty soon you would in theory not have to brush at all... Until the next issue came up!!! They do all kinjds of things like this with smells, textures sounds etc... it is a desensitizing technique to help their bodies learn to adjust to the shock that they are experiencing, they learn to recognize it and in essance expect it. Kind of be prepared if you will, they may not ever love the sensations but it teaches them how to deal with them!!! How to use their tools.... Just some ideas hope it helped.
