In 32 years working as an occupational therapist, I've only encountered two clients who have reflex sympathetic dystrophy. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/reflex_sympathetic_dystrophy/reflex_sympathetic_dystrophy.htm
However, now I am privileged to see and hear first hand from a friend how her middle school-aged daughter is fighting to live as normal a life as possible, in spite of the pain she endures every day. Here is my friend's testimony of how her family has been affected by RSD, and what she has learned through it so far. It is a spiritual testimony.

Welcome to a spot to share ideas for working with students in exceptional education in public schools. Please describe activities you've successfully used with students to improve fine motor and self-help skills. Creative classroom adaptations for sensory-based and ergonomic needs are sought. Technology applications, low and high tech, are appreciated. Above all--be positive and professional in sharing your experiences and ideas. Thanks.
