Great OT brushing protocol brushes
When my autistic child was three, the OT suggested brushing.  It's been a great tool over the years.  Basically, before an event where you know the child has a lot of sensory triggers (like a school assembly) you spend 15 minutes brushing them. Down their arms - always away from the body wherever you brush them at - down their back, gentle pressure, you don't want to overstimulate them.  As they got older, my child was able to take over the brushing.  We kept a brush in the school office like you would medicine, but also they carried one with them.  We kept one in the car. In every room of the house, eventually.<br />The brushes we used were just surgical brushes.  The disposable kind the doctors scrub with and throw out.<br /><br />These are nice. The same brush, but in a pretty color. Plus, you get EIGHT at once!  Great price, pretty colors.  Love this set!
