[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 384516, member: 1233"] Jen, i will tell you EXACTLY what I told you then. DO NOT DO THE BRUSHING UNTIL/UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IT BY A CERTIFIED Occupational Therapist (OT)!!! I remember that you were using a hairbrush and going over her arms and legs. While brushing SEEMS simple and easy, if you do not do it the right way you can CAUSE more problems than you help. Not kidding. Not joking. Not overstating. The Occupational Therapist (OT) who evaluation'd thank you and taught me said that it took months to undo problems that one client had because her mom tried to figure it out herself. The books all say that too. So even if you have to find the school's Occupational Therapist (OT) and beg them to show you and let you buy a brush from them, do NOT do this with-o the right brush and with-o proper training!!!!! It may be calming and relaxing to use a hairbrush on her arms and legs, but it is NOT going to give you the benefits of brushing therapy done properly. It really IS important to use the right brush and the right technique. [/QUOTE]
