Has anyone used magnets with kids who have SPD? A neighbor of mine swears by them for back pain/foot pain. I'm wondering if there's any research or experiences of using magnetic forcefields (like the special beds and comforters) for kids who have sensory processing disorders.

I've never heard of using magnets, but this would be an interesting question for you to ask Robynne, our excellent OT, in the "Ask the Expert" forums. See what she has to say.

I agree w/Lesley.
I know nothing about them either, but the "expert" should. ;-)
