Mary Kostka (Ohana OT) introduces the PEP (Parent Empowerment Program), a short video series intended to empower parents to support their children at home. The series will cover practical how-tos (e.g., making a spandex swing), explanations of sensory systems (vestibular and proprioceptive), and behavioral distinctions (tantrum vs. meltdown), with a focus on sensory integration strategies.
Hi, Mary Koska here from Ohana, ot. And welcome to our PEP program, our parent empowerment program. Really excited to get this started. So we decided to make a series of videos to help empower you to increase your expertise in helping your child at home. And this series of videos will have everything from how to make your own spandex swing to understanding the vestibular and proprioceptive systems better, how to understand the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown. Just lots and lots of things to make it so that you can help your child and feel empowered and more knowledgeable in all things sensory integration in your child. So let's get started.
