Heavy work as a calming and regulating tool can be incorporated into chores. This might look like breaking down tasks for kids to do parts of the chore, like carrying the laundry basket to the laundry area. Adding feedback through the muscles and joints to calm and regulate the sensory system can be done with just parts of a task.
https://www.theottoolbox.com/heavy-work-activities/

The sensory system that is activated during heavy work activities is called the proprioceptive system. The proprioceptive system receives messages when the muscles move to do work. These messages flow back and forth to the brain. The brain decides how much force a muscle should use based on the task at hand.

This allows children to use the correct amount of force when they need to hold something gently or when they need to lift something heavy.

It’s a complex system that is constantly adjusting to make sure the brain is getting the right information from all the joints and muscles in the body and as well as making sure the muscle output is appropriate to the task. This concept is also known as body awareness and allows us to know where our body is in space and how to move our body.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day

Inclusion and acceptance is still something we need to talk about for neurodivergent people. Autism is different in each person, which is why we have to continue to raise awareness.

Don’t forget that a developmental delay screening should occur at nine months. ASD screening should be at 18 months and you may consult a child psychologist to help detect autism.

If you have any concerns or questions, do not hesitate to contact us or your health professional
