Online Digital Magazine

As I am always looking for free materials and new resources, I thought I would share this link and ask any others to share other similiar links in the 'comment' section.

www.yourtherapysource.com/magazine.html

It is an online resource for school based therapy and special needs publications for professional, home and school use. They have started a monthly online booklet with some brief articles, free downloads and new product information. Of course, much of the items you have to purchase, but they do have some free resources and a good variety of online download resources.

Check out the electronic books...since shipping/customs is always an issue here, these types of resources are always welcome!

Please share any other links, which have free resources...

Thanks,
Laura

Conference Update

I am happy to say that the educational conference "Road Map to Positive Behavior" was an overall success. All four OT's who presented (Angela, Fatima, Majdi and Farah) reported that the participants in their lectures were enthustiastic about the topics and they said that they learned a lot of new information. OT's, PT's, teachers, psychiatrists, psychologists and parents attended the variety of lectures (i.e. seating recommendations for physically challenged children, sensory integration and behavior in the classroom, and how to manage handwriting difficulties).

I hope that OT's continue to present at educational conferences in Cairo, such as the March conference that the ADVANCE and LRC present each year.

Many thanks to all that presented,
Laura
