🔹SENSORY SATURDAY🔹
Children who demonstrate hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli might be unaware of their surroundings and often seek more intense sensory input.

Parenting a toddler? Watch for these signs! Sometimes it might feel like your toddler is being stubborn or defiant... or just acting like a #toddler 😬 But if you notice these behaviors, and you have any doubts, it won’t harm to consult with your pediatrician or a pediatric occupational therapist.

💡Therapy Idea Thursday💡 It’s been very cold lately here in Southern California (I’m sure 43 degrees in other countries sounds warm at this time of the year, but for me, 43 is freeezzziiinggg!❄️)! So what can you do when it’s sooo cold, but there is now snow to sled on? You sled on a slanted bolster swing (to address vestibular input and work on balance and head control) and crush into pillows (for the proprioceptive input)!
Can you think about other therapeutic ways to use the snow sled?
