I am interested in starting to work with kids that have Autistic Spectrum in my area. Any suggestions with any material I could read?
And anybody that has had results with Watsu and Autism?
Thanks

- I have no idea yet - but if I do I would call in if you had time for my 11yr old in your space!!! Are you managing to do some Watsu finally - I'm half way through a course to refine new skills and awareness which is great but I have forgotten so much it seems.......getting there slowly! Believe me, I'd love to visit! ..mt

I have known of persons who sponsored and taught caregivers and those being given care to share Watsu(R)
It provides a sense of sharing and giving back for the caregiver to receive....
Other thought: to provide another opportunity nearby for the car…
This group is for discussions about the practice and promotion of aquatic bodywork in spas, other leisure settings, and private venues. A place to share some of the issues faced and support each other.
Couples Watsu would be an activity that the Spa could promote as well as Mother daughter days .
