Hi,

thanks for all the good answers....as I like all your points in respect to toe walking in autistic children.Due to not much reserch being done in this matter I like to hear all of your comments and ideas. Kepp going :-)
Every autistic child I worked with in regards to their toe-walking they also all had SPC and are seen by an OT. In co-operation we managed to reduce the time some of the children spent on their tip toes. The one's where physical change has already occured are a lot harder to treat.
We won't be able to stop most of our children from toe-walking; but we managed to reduce the amount they toe walk and the long turn effects is has on them,e.g. changes to the muscle/bone structure,main changes to the gait which brings them of balance and increases their risk to fall.

Thanks to everyone :-)
