Singing has become something we’ve grown to love doing together! Some days we even get the whole clinic involved!! Because if it’s meaningful to them, it’s meaningful to us!
Our sessions sometimes start with what looks like just singing into a mic & dancing to Walking on Sunshine. But really… it was vestibular input, auditory-motor coordination, emotional attunement, desensitizing to loud sounds, & co-regulating (my fav!!)
The mic made it silly!! The connection made it therapeutic & honestly it is exactly what both of our nervous systems need some days!!
When kids feel safe & seen, they can show up fully!! Regulation doesn’t start with strategies it starts with relationships and rapport!
Truth is, I see so much of myself in the kids I get to treat. Their big feelings, their sensory sensitivities, their need for safety before anything else!!
Connection always comes first at Rise Center ☀️🌞🎤👯💃
