The November 21-22 Therapies in the School conference, sponsored by Education Resources, Inc., in Framingham, MA, was an incredibly constructive time for therapists to learn and share the latest in evidence-based strategies, select appropriate assessment tools and assistive technology, apply best practices in team collaboration…and much, much more!
As the Therapro rep, it was fun to talk with many therapists about tools they like and how they use them in their school-based practices.
Here are some popular materials that therapists loved and recommended:
- Brain Gym ®Teacher’s Edition
- Karen Moore’s book – The Sensory Connection Self Regulation Workbook
- Thumball; Move Your Body
- Body Poetry: Yoga Cards
- Hands and Feet Markers
- TRUNKS game
Check them out on the Therapro website to see if they could be useful in your practice!
From all accounts, this was a very fruitful conference for attendees, who walked away on Friday afternoon after a full two days of listening, learning, discussion, and networking.
