💪 Sensory Saturday: Heavy Work Heroes!
Does your child seek movement or pressure to feel calm? Heavy work gives the body deep “muscle and joint” feedback that helps regulate emotions.
Try these ideas:
🧺 Carrying laundry baskets or shopping bags (lightly filled).
🧱 Building block towers or pushing toy trucks.
🧹 Sweeping, wiping tables, or watering plants.
These activities are great for indoor or outdoor play and can help children settle after busy mornings. 🌿

💧 Sensory Saturday: Cool-Down Water Play!
Warm summer days are the perfect time for gentle sensory play. Try this fun and calming cool-down water bin:
🪣 Fill a tub with water, ice cubes, cups, and toy animals.
🫧 Add bubbles or food colouring for extra fun.
👋 Encourage your child to scoop, pour, and explore.
Water play is a simple way to build fine motor skills and support regulation — and it’s perfect for hot days! 💙

🎄A Sensory-Friendly Christmas - Supporting Children on the Spectrum

🎅✨ Christmas can be full of excitement twinkling lights, music, family gatherings but for children on the spectrum, all that sensory input can sometimes feel overwhelming.
The sounds, lights, smells, and changes to routine can make this time of year challenging. But with a little planning and a few sensory supports, the festive season can still be calm, joyful, and meaningful. 💚
Here are some helpful tools and strategies for a sensory-friendly Christmas:
🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones – great for busy shops or loud family gatherings.
🕶 Sunglasses or caps – to help with bright lights and decorations.
🧸 Comfort items – a favourite toy, blanket, or fidget for reassurance.
🕰 Visual schedules – to prepare for changes in plans or routines.
🧩 Quiet corner – create a calm space at home or when visiting family where your child can take breaks.
🍽 Bring familiar foods – comforting options help reduce stress at big meals or events.
Remember, Christmas doesn’t have to look perfect it just needs to feel safe, supported, and filled with love. 💫

Summer Heat & Children on the Spectrum

🌞 The summer heat can be tough for anyone but for children on the spectrum, it can bring unique sensory challenges.
Heat, bright light, and humidity can all heighten sensory sensitivities and make it harder for kids to self-regulate. Here are a few ways to help your child stay cool, calm, and comfortable this summer:
✅ Keep indoor spaces cool and dim where possible.
✅ Offer cold drinks and hydration often throughout the day.
✅ Try cooling tools fans, mist sprays, or damp towels can make a big difference.
✅ Stick to familiar routines where you can.
✅ Allow quiet breaks in cool, low-stimulation spaces.
Every child experiences heat differently, so tune in to your child’s cues you know them best 💚
