With the increased number of children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders, parents and professionals are in search of materials that provide information that will enable them to better understand affected children.

This A-to-Z work contains original entries on the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Entries include facts about disabilities, personal and historic perspectives, interventions, assessments, educational methods, trusted internet resources, and national organizations. The work outlines the contributions of founding researchers and other professionals and includes personal perspectives from individuals with ASD and their parents.

No other such definitive resource exists that provides both educational and practical information related to ASD.

On Task Weighted Vest at OTvest.com

Weighted vests are used as a means of applying deep pressure, which can be helpful in decreasing purposeless behaviors, hyperactivity and inattention (often seen in autistic and ADHD children and those with sensory processing difficulties.  The deep pressure applied by the OTvest™ has a calming effect upon children that is comfortable to them, and provides an alternative or adjunct to medication. Many children when putting  the OTvest on for the first time, respond by saying "It feels good!"™  This highly effective means of applying deep pressure is unique and patented--as the weight does not hang inside pockets supported by the garment, but lies comfortably but directly upon the shoulder-girdle muscles of the child--as if someone is pressing gently upon the individual's shoulders and upper back. Children as well as teens like the stylish design of this vest, as it does not stand out as therapeutic, but actually looks quite "handsome" with the clothing normally worn to school!! The weights are undetectable to others.

Stickids for Therapists

STICKIDS ® is a software and activity kit that creates unlimited trackers, planners, activity cards and games.

STICKIDS ® comes in 2 versions:

  • Home ‘n School Version - for use by parents and teachers
  • Therapist Version - allows for detailed customization related to therapeutic perspectives and preferences

Who is it for?

STICKIDS ® supports children with Sensory Integration, Sensory Processing and Sensory Motor challenges ranging from: Autism, to Attention Deficit, to the regular child with mild sensory sensitivity and motor needs. These children over or under process the sensory feedback of touch, vision, smell, taste and sound; and the internal sensory feedback from muscles, joints, motion, balance and deep pressure. This atypical processing can result in:

  • Either excessive seeking or avoiding of sensory input in daily events;
  • Emotional sensitivity, meltdowns, or need for retreat;
  • Difficulty with focus, arousal, and self-regulation to everyday tasks;
  • Reduced quality in motor response (involving coordination, balance, tone, planning or sequencing), as the motor skill may have been based on misinterpretation of sensory information.

STICKIDS ® is suitable for children from toddlers to teens and from mild to severely effected children. It may be used for a single child or for many.

STICKIDS ® Benefits:

  • Affordable and user friendly;
  • Increases ease and effective “teaming” between teachers, therapists and parents;
  • Promotes the child's participation in sensory diet and sensory motor therapy routines and everyday activities to improve:
    • self regulation (sleep patterns, focus, alertness, emotional stability);
    • motor base of coordination, motor planning, tone, task sequencing and functional motor skills;
    • daily living and coping skills.
