    Noticed last night that a person I thought was on a prog as an autism advisor was actually something called a 'Drama Therapist', and that got me thinking about this whole kulcha of 'therapists' that seems to be popping up.

     

    While something like Speech Therapist makes sense, where does 'therapy' become 'hobby', and where does the disticnction come between making progress by having something positive and interseting and social and exciting and rewarding in your life and, erm 'therapy'?

     

    So to get the ball rolling 'Wii Fit / Wii Sports therapy'. Good for the body, good for the mind. Teaches and rewards life skills (health and nutrition) and social skills/sharing/'sportmanship'/negotiation etc etc etc/// Half an hour a day as golden time, and who knows, maybe after a bit a couple of extra remotes and some school chums on a regular basis to expand it out into a social network.

     

    Any other ideas?

     

    My favourite is 'R&ST' - Reward and Sanction Therapy which dovetails with ECT (Expectation and Consequence Therapy)

     

    baddad, ant what about Listeningg Therapies? You said "Speech Therapist makes sense". I wonder if you could help me decide whether something like Listening Therapies also makes sense :) you see, I have a younger brother who lives in US and my mother wants him to take sessions in TLP (I've found some review on the blog about sensory therapies, http://www.sensory-therapies.com/review/the-listening-program-tlp/ - but I would love to read more about it).

     

    If you can, please help me to decide - I will share information with my Mother.
