Incontinence ProductsI've tried many different brands over the years, and I recommend Tranquility ATN (All-Through-the-Night) fitted briefs for both absorbency and odor control. These sites have the best pricing and free shipping:
Most of these companies will send you free samples if you pay for shipping & handling. I've used http://NorthShoreCare.com, but they had the highest price per unit (even after their 10% buyer's club discount) plus they charge for shipping. |

| http://www.talktools.net/ TalkTools - When Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson founded ITI and began teaching her oral placement therapy techniques, the therapists and caregivers attending her courses consistently expressed a desire for tools specifically designed to help them implement what they had learned. In response, she created the TalkTools® brand and developed a series of user-friendly products to correspond with her hierarchical approach to oral placement therapy. Many of these items, including the original Horn and Straw Hierarchies and Jaw Grading Bite Blocks, are now household names in the oral placement field and are available exclusively through TalkTools Therapy™. Through constant efforts to improve existing products and develop new tools to meet emerging needs, TalkTools Therapy™ has positioned itself as a primary worldwide source for oral placement, sensory, and feeding therapy supplies, and the popular brand TalkTools®. | ||||

| The Collis-Curved
Toothbrush Maintaining good dental hygiene is a continuing challenge for parents of CLS
kids, who are often not effective in brushing their own teeth. A powered
toothbrush such as the InterPlak is the most effective solution, but not all CLS
kids will tolerate the sensory stimulation of a powered toothbrush or might bite
down on the toothbrush while it is running. If an Interplak will not work for your family member, the
Collis-Curve
toothbrush may provide a more effective solution than an ordinary toothbrush for
manual brushing. The Collis-Curved toothbrush cleans both sides of the teeth at
once.
