I think it was on the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. Perhaps you can have one of your children's OT to pull it up for you to read it.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977097284075812594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362113364349699326.post-75180389105632937962013-02-15T20:49:00.682-05:002013-02-15T20:49:00.682-05:00you made my day!

I was having a very, very tough day with Janey. I read this post, and decided to try a little massaging with her. I don't know how to do it right, but since she was little it's something that has sometimes helped a lot when she is screaming. It did today---it seemed to reset her. She did both the pushing on my hand and the pushing away (she didn't like her nose or ears touched at all, or her knees!). We did that for a while, and then I wrapped her in a lot of blankets, and we played "musher machine"---kind of a Temple Grandin hugging machine imitation. You are so right---why not? I don't know if it's anything other than her just having some calming time with me, but if it works and doesn't have negative side effects---why not?Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240262747073351481noreply@blogger.com
