School-Based Therapy
|  Schools: Benefits of Buying Assistive Technology Locally
Are you a PT, OT, or paraprofessional working at a school who needs a stander, gait trainer, wedge, or any piece of assistive technology?

Family Relationships

There Are No Limitations by Heather Whitener
Growing up in a busy household; living amidst my family of seven taught me the importance of relationships. Now as a children's therapist, I see firsthand the importance of building trust and securing a nonjudgmental attitude to my children. My disability doesn't matter much when I am playing dress up or singing nursery rhymes with my sidekicks. What does matter is that I am nurturing a relationship that sustains itself on love and trust. Whether in my personal or professional life there are lots of venues in which I have met people, many diverse and different people that have touched my lives. In trusting relationships, your legs, looks, mistakes don't matter...what does matter is the connection and feeling you have when you're with another person. Read Heather's Post |

EasyStand Stander Justifications on LMNBuilder.com
EasyStand standing frames are now loaded on www.lmnbuilder.com, a free tool that helps clinicians write successful Letters of Medical Necessity for standing frames and other complex rehab technology. Sample justifications for all standers and accessories including the Bantam, Evolv, Glider, and StrapStand are on LMNBuilder.com. As a result of this partnership, a custom tool was made to accommodate for important elements of the standing frame LMN that should not be left out: standers considered, standers trialed, and home standing program. Be sure to share this useful tool with your colleagues. Download LMN Builder Brochure. Learn More |
