Are you hearing about a sensory diet for the first time? Wondering how to create a sensory diet for your child? Video FAQs - How is it possible for a child to have more than others’ scores on multiple sensory patterns?Maybe you got all of the best sheets, blankets, pillows, and put your thermostat to the perfect temperature. However, it still hasn’t done much for the anxious feelings that linger at night. You are not alone!

You definitely won’t be able to predict them all.Being able to receive this type of relief while not changing your sleep environment too drastically can make it a seamless transition and happy compromise for you and your partner. The Importance of a Comfortable Home Environment A sensory compression sheet is a lightweight and breathable sheet that wraps completely around your bed. This stretchy sheet is made to apply compression to your entire body while you sleep. This compression can relieve some of the feelings of stress and anxiety, bringing you the comfort of being “hugged” all night long. You could either keep these posters on the wall in your classroom, so that you can use them regularly for things like sensory breaks in the classroom. Or, you could laminate some cards and pop them into your P.E cupboard or sports hall, so that everyone can use them when needed. This level of sensory diet creation requires assessment and identification of each challenging issue. Sensory behaviors should be identified and charted. This includes jotting down when specific behaviors occur, the setting where meltdowns occur, and antecedent to the behavior. While I can’t possibly cover every possible situation, use these sensory diet examples to inspire how you create your child’s sensory diet using the template. A lot of these examples are from my own home or from kids that I’ve worked with:

While sensory diets are specific to each child, they all have the same goals: to regulate the sensory system, prevent meltdowns, improve focus and attention, and/or to increase your child’s tolerance to the sensations they experience in their environment. The key to successful integration of a sensory diet is ensuring the clinical strategizing and application are fit into the specific needs of the individual. However, combining the needs of an individual with interests and preference along with application of specific steps ensures successful creation of a sensory diet. Using the School-Companion Sensory Profile 2 to support a child in third grade who is becoming more socially isolated.These activities and supports are chosen based on the child’s unique sensory processing needs, and ultimately help a child calm down and focus so they can participate in age appropriate activities. This cozy blanket is not only portable because it is a blanket; it is also portable because you can wear it. Due to its compression and ability to open at the top and bottom, you or your child are able to pull it all the way up your body and roll it up your legs and walk around. It's the perfect balance of compression without feeling restricted.

What is a Sensory circuit? For others, they have a low threshold, and their environment is constantly giving them too many sensations.

First, it can be helpful to explain exactly what a sensory diet is. A sensory diet is a specific set of sensory activities designed to meet specific needs of the individual. Creation of a sensory diet requires assessment and trial followed by analysis and continued monitoring of strategies and their effectiveness. If you do not really enjoy your bed or your sheets, then you most likely don’t feel relaxed when you lay your head down to sleep. Sensory games can help improve coordination and physical development. This particular sensory game is fantastic for fine and gross motor skills. Step 2: Strategize/Reasoning- The next level in creating a sensory diet involves identifying the “why” behind the behaviors. Think about why the individual may be responding, or reacting to sensory input or environmental input in the way that they are. Can you come up with rationale that describes actions? While it’s important to be open to offering activities again, you also want to look for what your child likes and is gravitating towards.
