This week in OT, we played the igloo-blowing game!

We bring this out specifically for our friends who struggle with taking deep breaths, as the act of blowing with force can help the body become more comfortable with expanding the lungs to support nervous system regulation.

This is also great for hand-eye coordination skills, speech, feeding skills, visual tracking, and improving focus.

The Squeeze machine—deep pressure central.

Deep pressure provides that calming sensory input that kiddos CRAVE.

So, how does it work?

1. Nervous System Regulation: Switches from the “fight or flight” (sympathetic) to the calming “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) system.
2. Neurotransmitter Boost: Increases serotonin (mood, sleep) and dopamine (pleasure, focus), reducing stress hormones.
3. Proprioceptive Input: Gives the brain feedback about body position, improving body awareness and coordination.

This type of input is great for kids who have dysregulated nervous systems, increased anxiety, Autism, ADHD, and more!

This week in OT, we brought out one of our favourites! This activity combines proprioceptive work, sensory integration, motor coordination, and vestibular awareness ✋🏻✊🏻

The objective is for the child to bring the puzzle pieces from point A to point B inside of the rainbow barrel, rotating from one side of the room to the other. We bring this activity out specifically for our little friends who struggle with coordination, spatial orientation, and perceptual training🤍
