Therapists from across the country attended the 15th annual Therapies in the School Conference on November 20-21 in Framingham, MA, sponsored by Education Resources, Inc. This year’s conference hosted a distinguished faculty who presented workshops on many hot topics, a sampling of which addressed learning visual and motor strategies that promote learning, providing therapy given time restraints, and building executive function skills to help students with efficiency and productivity.
Many school-based therapists stopped by the Therapro booth to check out new products and old favorites, or just to say ‘hello.’ I always love sharing ideas and brainstorming with attendees.
Check out these very popular Therapro products that therapists heartily endorsed. You can find them on the Therapro website:
Games
Letter Treasure Hunt
A Fist Full of Coins
TRUNKS game
Right Turn Left Turn
Drive Thru Menus
Books
Is it Sensory or Is it Behavior?
Attendees left this conference with a wealth of information that will be directly applicable to their practice in the schools. Congratulations on celebrating 15 outstanding years of Therapies in the School!
