Sensory System WEEK 6: The Visual System! 👀

This system helps us make sense of what we see so we can learn, move safely, read, write, and interact successfully with our environment.
Take a look at some ways we work on the visual sense in OT! 🩷

Children of ALL abilities can benefit from OT! At Sensational Skills OT, our sessions are tailored to the needs of each individual child.

Does your child struggle with gross motor skills? No problem- we can use play-based, functional activities to improve strength, coordination, balance, and motor planning.

Does your child struggle with reading social cues among peers? No problem -we can target underlying sensory, motor, and emotional regulation issues through structured, play-based interventions.

Let us know your concerns, and we will let you know what approach would be best suited for your child 😄

This week in OT… One of our friends took the lead by designing an obstacle sequence that was a total powerhouse for sensory integration.

While it looks like just high-energy fun, every crash and swing is building a foundation for success, including focus on:
- running
-reaching
-swinging
-visual-spatial awareness
- and deep pressure

All of which can be translated into every day skills!

The Vestibular System is the sense that is in charge of balance and where the body is positioned in space 💜 Take a look to see how you can support your child's developing vestibular system!

FUN FACT: Without this system, your vision would blur or bounce every time you took a step.

This week in OT...one of our friends who was recently diagnosed with Autism is learning about what it means to have Autism, and how this can be seen as a SUPERPOWER, not a flaw!

Writing and drawing help kids come to terms with a new diagnosis by giving them a safe, age-appropriate way to express feelings, process experiences, and make sense of what’s happening when they may not have the words to explain it.

This friend enjoys expressing himself through art and has shared his love for Diane Albert's concept of the "Scribble". We adapted this concept towards learning about Autism. Check out these amazing illustrations our friend made!

Did you know an OT can help address your child's challenges with bladder control?
This challenge can be caused by a lack of interoceptive awareness, nervous system regulation, reflex integration, or muscle tone/motor control issues.
Take a look to see how we would address this during sessions!

This week in OT...we used the Mindful Brain Breaks (Roll & Do!) game.

Lots of our friends are getting tired of all of the snow days, and any excuse to get up and moving is always a gift for the sensory system🏃‍🏃‍♀️❄ --and it makes for an extra fun session!

This game is designed for 2-3 players. Each player takes a turn rolling the dice, and then they complete the exercise presented on the corresponding number that they roll.
The exercises here offer a variety of sensory strategies, including deep pressure, heavy work, breath work, and more!

Welcome back to our sensory series! This week, we will be discussing...the Olfactory sense; more commonly known as your sense of SMELL. There are so many reasons why our sense of smell is important. Take a look! 💚

FUN FACT: Did you know that without your sense of smell, you wouldn't be able to taste anything?

Sensory series WEEK 2
This week, we are talking about the auditory sense. Most of us know what this sense is, but do you know the science-based evidence behind its importance? Take a look!

We support the auditory sense during OT primarily through the Safe & Sound Music Protocol and interoceptive awareness of the ears.
