Info post: Sensory Circuits 💫

A great tool to assist with sensory integration! It involves alerting, organizing, and then calming physical activities with the aim to assist in regulating the senses to achieve our “just right” level of alertness to participate in learning. These circuits can be used in sessions or at home as part of a sensory diet that can be developed for each individual child depending on specific needs!

Still celebrating OT all month long!
Let’s talk about a super important skill we target a lot in pediatric OT:

E M O T I O N A L R E G U L A T I O N 😁 😔 😡 😭

These are some of the tools OT can use to address emotional regulation:
⭐️Inner Coach vs Inner Critic
⭐️Big vs Small Problem
⭐️Flexible vs Rigid Thinking
⭐️Zones of regulation

Emotional regulation skills are essentially the ability to control and manage our stress, which is a skill many are not born with.
Poor emotional regulation can cause:
1️⃣Difficulties with social skills
2️⃣Meltdowns
3️⃣Problems at home and school
4️⃣Negative behaviors
5️⃣Anxiety

It’s normal for our emotions to occasionally become intense, making you feel out of control. This means we have become dysregulated and lose our ability to manage our behaviors, cognitive thought process, and executive functioning skills. But with these tools, we can learn more about ourselves and find ways to cope when we become dysregulated!
