Sensory Parenting, from Newborns to Toddlers: Everything Is Easier When Your Child’s Senses Are Happy!

Britt Collins, M.S., OTR/L (Pediatric Occupational Therapist) and Jackie Olson (Mother) have created and written a series of Occupational Therapy DVDs for children with autism and other special needs, TRPwellness.com, winning an iParenting Award for Outstanding Product 2008. They write and provide on-air talent to a monthly radio show for Autism One Radio and have spoken at conferences across the United States on the benefits of Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration in the home, school, and community. Miss Collins has had articles published in Autism File and Charlotte Parent, while Mrs. Olson has written articles for Mommytalk.com, an excerpt in the book "Vision Boards; The Secret to an Extraordinary Life" and penned the screenplay "The Caretaker" starring Jennifer Tilly and Judd Nelson (2008). Having such positive results in the niche special needs market, this duo is riding the mainstream wave of typical child parenting by popular demand. Britt and Jackie's article on the benefits of playing the Wii have created a buzz and are garnering them attention as game gurus. Their press interviews and reviews of their DVDs have been featured in First Magazine, Library Journal, Autism Spectrum Quarterly, Fit Yoga, LA Health, Costco Connection, Vision Magazine, as well as several newspapers and websites.
