Sensory Integration Dysfunction: Helping Each Individual

Southpaw Enterprises, with a focus on clinic-based therapy for sensory integration dysfunction, develops equipment, tools, and other resources for teachers and for parents use at home with a therapist’s guidance. Andy Russi, General Manager of Southpaw, and Betsy discuss what type of equipment will help an individual’s sensory needs, for example: How to help a picky eater? How to help a child feel calm? Diana A. Henry, MS, OTR/L and Henry Occupational Therapy Services, Inc. offer school based and individual occupational therapy services to support the mandates of “No Child Left Behind.” With the mobile ATEACHABOUT trailer, Henry OT Services, Inc. provides products and workshops across the USA and internationally. Diana talks to Betsy about the importance of sensory output, as well as how Southpaw’s tools help reach important goals for children and adults with sensory integration challenges.
