An OT and SLP Team Approach

In their new book, Ms. Mora and Ms. Kashman provide practical advice and workable strategies to treat dysfunction in sensory integration and communication disorders through an integrated team approach. Drawing on their extensive experience in developing and implementing effective treatment strategies in clinical, school, and family settings, they demonstrate how an integrated team approach increases therapeutic effectiveness while maximizing the benefits of the available treatment resources. These talented and experienced therapists explain how to develop more effective treatments within the resource constraints that therapists often face. They include the development of child-centric strategies that combine aspects of occupational and speech-language therapies. This team approach has been implemented and validated at the Chartwell Center as well as in Ms. Kashman's work in schools and in her private practice. The Chartwell Center is a highly regarded and innovative educational program in New Orleans for children with dysfunction in sensory integration.
