Range of Motion (ROM) is the potential movement a joint can move in various directions or planes.
It can be active (AROM): Movement is performed by the individual. It can be passive (PROM): Movement is applied outside of the individual. For the purpose of adapting Alive Activities, it will be assumed that the OT will use clinical judgement in the type of ROM. Unless otherwise stated, the activity can be implemented using both AROM and PROM.

Sensory Processing
Sensory Processing can be confusing as we do not "see" sensory processing skills. It is defined as the relatedness of one to others, one to their environment, and one's ability to adjust oneself to appropriately function within the environment with oneself, others, and objects within it.
​
I am blessed to have "1st generation" instructors (trained and mentored by Jean Ayres) in the area of sensory integration where I was able to become "Certified in Sensory Integration". Since then I have challenged and developed successful evidence based practical application of the theory with children 0-22 years of age.
​
I have worked with children in the school setting, outpatient settings, homes and in child care facilities. My passion is to support and educate teachers, related service providers and families to implement sensory integration constructs into a child's natural environment. Sensory processing skills is a process. The more a child can improve their relationships within themselves, others and the environment, the more they may be successful and thrive!
