We highly recommend joining in on this online session.

Dr. Temple Grandin is one of the best and most well known advocates and is autistic herself. If anyone can explain the links between autism, communication, behaviour, sensory needs and socials skills and shed a light on autism for Neurotypical’s to understand - then it is her!

Disability encompasses a wide range of conditions that can affect a person's physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory abilities, impacting their ability to participate fully in society.

It's defined as the interaction between a person's health conditions and environmental and personal factors. Disability is increasingly recognised as a normal part of the human experience, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

At Seek Adventure Support Services, we work closely with participants, their carers and families to learn about all aspects of their disability, as every individual is different; and we respect that.

Many people living with a disability also have various sensory sensitivities. One of these is tactile - or touch.

Often we see sensory seeking or sensory avoiding.

Many avoid certain types of clothing due to it irritating their skin, or socks annoy them, they don't like the feel of soaps on their skin, or touching certain textures. Some textures can even give a "pain" response to people with sensory sensitivities.

How can we as support workers and parents/carers assist?

We use experiences to teach our participants how to calm themselves when dysregulated due to tactile input, assist them in avoiding certain triggering tactile input (such as removing tags from clothing or using compression socks with no stitching), or introducing them to tactile responses in a safe way, such as messy play with slimes, finger painting, gelly baff, to re-teach their bodies that these textures are safe and don't need a trauma response.

Did you know that even using a nail brush or a thera-brush on your hands before writing awakens connections between your hands and the connections to your brain, which allows for greater hand coordination with your writing!?

Looking for a fun activity to try over the weekend?

How about becoming a "Citizen Scientist" and Build a Frog Hotel!?

This is a fun activity to do either by yourself or together with a friend or family member. It may help tidy some odds and ends around your house, or you can get some supplies from Bunnings.

Plus - you will be helping the environment in protecting native frogs and providing them with a safe space, as well as a beautiful feature for your garden area!
(You could get extra creative and paint the PVC pipes too - just make sure you use a non-toxic paint because frogs have VERY sensitive skin!)

There is also a really cool app you can download called "Frog ID" - this allows you to record frog sounds, where ever you hear them and it goes to assisting scientists to chart frog locations and species.
