occupational therapist

Many children like to dress up in costume for Halloween, but with children with autism and other special needs, sensory issues can preclude traditional costumes.

Sensory Pathways founder and occupational therapist, Lorri Malagarie, believes that play therapy can "organize and desensitize the nervous system." 

Former Keys pitcher, Matt Bruback, developed a weighted belt for his own use; a golfer, Catharine Behan of CA, helped him realize a use for children with autism.
