The Pocket Occupational Therapist for Families of Children With Special Needs
"With love and understanding, Cara Koscinski creates an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand warehouse of information on occupational therapy. 'The Pocket Occupational Therapist' offers answers to many questions parents ask about OT: 'why is my child presenting certain behaviors? What does pediatric OT look like? How do I find a qualified OT? How do I support my child's therapy at home?' Cara's 'Out of the POCKET Activities' throughout the book offer strategies parents can use to complement their child's therapy sessions. What a great idea!" - Ida Zelaya, President of Sensory Street, Inc.  "This pocket reference is an excellent resource to have in your toolkit if you have a child with special needs. In order to advocate for your child through a maze of services, recommendations and new lifestyle demands, it is essential to have the right information. The knowledge contained in this book is empowering and will help guide parents to quality services based on their child's needs." -Patricia Crist, Department of Occupational Therapy, School of Health Science, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
