Default Home OT sites

Here are a few websites for speech and OT items you can order and get catalogs for home use, which I got from my childs OT. Great for Christmas too.
If there is another general place I should post these, can someone let me know? Thanks.

Good book

Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach
by Howard Glasser MA, and Jennifer Easley, MA

"The Nurtured Heart Approach involves bombarding kids with positive statements, while treating misbehavior with unemotional time-outs.

Book's emphasis on ADHD hides the fact that the approach works for other special needs, too.

Some kids are just more intense than others. Their reactions are bigger, their actions more headstrong, their misdeeds more passionate. One solution to that intensity has been to tamp it down, through medication or strict discipline. “Transforming the Difficult Child” suggests another: Channeling that intensity into more positive, productive expression. This approach has the added benefit of focusing parents on the positive, too."

My son is getting older and I'm trying to get more info about the pre-teen and teen years. I stumbled on this one. They have some very good articles and the Extra part was good.

I *LOVE* blogs

I've found a wonderful one that's all about being the wife to a new legislator, running a scrapbooking business and, BEST OF ALL, being a Mom to a wonderful little boy named 'Simon':

explore the website: there's a host of valuable information. Maybe be pro-active and take the information to your local law enforcement agency.
