help calm my daughter during meltdowns.
the brushing helped him with flapping and sensitivity in his arms and legs.
So far she doesnt tolerate the brushing. tried the horse thearpy but they held her down and put a helment on her and it was very traumatic!
Not so much brushing but back massage when Trevor would get overwelmed seemed to help calm him tremendously.
Brush has made a huge difference with my sons tactile defensiveness. I highly suggest it for kids who are tactile defensive.
It sends him into a hypnotic state and relaxes him.
