Children with Learning, Attention and Sensory Challenges Sing Their Way to Staying Alert at School and Home

Prepare yourself for the latest Alert Program™ tool to hit the pavement called Test Drive: Introducing the Alert Program™ Through Song. This unique book/CD combo may be the tool parents, teachers and therapists have been dreaming of to help children change how alert they feel.

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) May 4, 2007 -- A variety of songs with catchy words and a beat that will have you humming and tapping your toes recently hit the pavement. It's called Test Drive: Introducing the Alert Program™ Through Song and is the latest resource to the Alert Program™.

Test Drive created by world renowned occupational therapists, Mary Sue Williams and Sherry Shellenberger, brings the concepts of self-regulation into unique songs which help elementary-aged school children with sensory integration disorders to effortlessly learn how to make their daily routine manageable. Williams and Shellenberger are co-authors of the highly successful "How Does Your Engine Run?" Alert Program products, national and international trainings.

If you aren't familiar with the Alert Program, this easy-to-teach, practical program supports children, teachers, parents, and therapists to choose appropriate strategies to change or maintain levels of alertness through an engine analogy. Students learn what they can do before a spelling test or homework time to attain an optimal state of alertness for their tasks. Teachers learn what they can do after lunch, when their adult nervous systems are in a low state and their students are in a high alert state. Parents learn what they can do to help their child's nervous system change from a high alert state to a more appropriate low state at bedtime.

With Test Drive, children learn the Alert Program concepts through song lyrics such as, "Sometimes my engine runs high, 'wooo', sometimes my engine runs loooow, sometimes my engine runs Just Right" or "Five ways, we've got five ways to maximize your days: Mouth, Move, Touch, Look, Listen and find your ways!" The accompanying book explains in detail how helps parents, teachers or therapists work with the child to implement the Alert Program concepts.

Test Drive is available exclusively through TherapyWorks by visiting www.AlertProgram.com or by calling (877) 897-3478.
