Here at PESI, we are committed to helping increase understanding and acceptance of autism. In honor of World Autism Month, we’re offering some FREE videos on calming children with Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder.
In this short video clip, occupational therapist, international speaker, and author Teresa Garland will walk you through several ways to calm a child after a period of excitement.
These techniques can be used in the clinic, school, and at home.
