As an occupational therapist, I believe that functional transference can happen spontaneously from the child’s feeling of competence and the therapeutic interaction. Nevertheless, that is … [Read more...]

I want to avoid the ‘I’ll just do it for him’ approach I ended up taking last year and put more effort into helping him develop his own organizational skills, but in a way that will leave him with a can-do, positive attitude towards … [Read more...]
