I am an occupational therapist. I have worked in 3 different school systems. I have been working since 1984. I have also worked in private therapy and many other settings. I am highly passionate about food and research every little thing I can get my hands on about food and the autistic community. I would like to share things that your school OT may not tell you. I am limited in what I can tell parents. I will give you the inside story and also share with you want I believe really helps the most. I will be candid about how you can best get the therapy you feel your child needs and how to get a good relationship with your school or private therapist. I am certified in sensory integration praxis tests, interactive metronome, the listening program, and pending certification in handwriting without tears. I have lots of recommendations that may help you and will explain why your school OT may not tell you these things. I would like to provide reviews of various types of therapy so that you may consider whether you want to find them. I will provide explanation of private versus school therapy. I will also share my knowledge about diet. I am 10 classes short of a dietician degree, but my research contradicts so much that they teach. I also attend continuing education classes and can give some summaries of the information that I learn. I am passionate about the fact that most of the children I work with have been injured by vaccinations. In general, I have a very large overview of autism. I have to endure the devastating effects of autism on a daily basis, as about 90% of my caseload is mild to severe autistic children.
