Specialized therapies: Family experiences with non-traditional therapies

Introduction

Parents Nikki Crews (ASXL3/Bainbridge-Ropers Syndrome), Julie Lopez (ASXL1/Bohring-Opitz Syndrome), and Jamie Ordower (ASXL1/Bainbridge Ropers Syndrome) share their experiences with therapies outside of the traditional physical and occupational therapies. They discuss equine (horse) therapy, music therapy, and a therapy focused on the brain-body connection called the Anat Baniel Method. They discuss how they accessed these therapies and how these therapies have benefitted their children’s development.

This session was recorded at the 2022 ASXL Family Conference in July 2022 in Los Angeles.
