Tim's SI therapy must work!!

[Guest guest]

Yesterday, Kate, Karrie and I went out to play in the snow. We built a

snowman, had a snowball fight and made snow angels. While we didn't follow

Tim's protocol to the letter, the impact of this type of snow therapy for

kids with SI issues is great!! The results from the therapy are longer

lasting than even the deep pressure protocol (brushing) or joint compression

proprioceptive and/or vestibular input that most of us OT's generally use!!

Why just this morning....

I was sitting on the toilet (I have no privacy) when Karrie sang Jingle

Bells, Up on the Rooftop, and Days of the Week from start to end. She then

told me she loves Isaac, Sherri, Caleb, and named all the other kids in her

class. Then she moved on to name all the kids in latchkey. I just sat, not

wanting to move and break her train of thought!!

Her muscle tone must be better, since she not only chose her own clothes

(striped t-shirt, plaid skirt, anklets, and white dress shoes), but totally

dressed herself. She even combed her own hair!!

Tim, genius that you are, could you please, please come up with some other

protocols for us to use??

(Disclaimer to the rest of the group....no flaming for getting Tim started

again!!! I'm fighting a cold and feeling rotten this morning...too much time

on my hands!!)
