I think the brushing is to increase body awareness? I will definitely have more questions for her next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deep-pressure-proprioceptive-technique#post-1652706 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:59:18 +0000 Torchwood 1652706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A blog I read about a family with an autistic child with SPD does it, and says it's great. <a href="http://www.ourlittleacorn.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ourlittleacorn.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deep-pressure-proprioceptive-technique#post-1652701 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:55:35 +0000 Sammyfab 1652701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! I've never worked with a PT who has recommended brushing. Is it to increase body awareness?</p> <p>As an OT, I've only ever recommended things like brushing, joint compressions and massage / deep pressure as a calming intervention for kids who are sensory-seeking. You have my curiosity piqued now!</p> <p>ETA: I would also recommend these interventions for kids who are the opposite - low registration who require higher levels of sensory input! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deep-pressure-proprioceptive-technique#post-1652681 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:36:34 +0000 autumnlove 1652681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: the pt gave us a little brush and a fact sheet about brushing the joint areas. She says she go over it again next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deep-pressure-proprioceptive-technique#post-1652673 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:30:36 +0000 Sammyfab 1652673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brushing is a very specific sensory intervention that requires some training...did she show you what to do and provide you with a brush?</p> <p>Were there other proprioceptive activities she recommended? What exactly is it for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deep-pressure-proprioceptive-technique#post-1652667 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:25:47 +0000 autumnlove 1652667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else use a brushing technique on your LO? The PT wants us to do it 3 times a day. </p>
