I frequently have families and teachers ask me how to help students cope with the fine motor and/or sensory difficulties associated with toothbrushing. However, visiting the dentist is a huge undertaking and many students don't receive the care they need because of their difficulties with the sounds, smells and other aspects of the dentist's office.

Please share positive ideas for helping students in public schools. Use other blogs and listservs for venting or discussing anything other than ideas for helping students, school staff and parents. Thanks.
