What are sensory activities?
Sensory activities are designed to challenge your child’s ability to respond appropriately to sensory input. This is done by providing challenging and exciting activities in which your child can succeed and maintain organization. Some sensory activities may include climbing up a ladder, playing in beans, jumping into a ball pit, sliding down a scooter board, swinging on a trapeze, or walking barefoot in the mud. The activities will be designed to provide the child with proprioceptive and vestibular input to help with organization and body awareness. The challenge level of the activity will increase over time. Therapy should be an activity the child looks forward to; however, this may take some time to get to for the child who is very hesitant of new environments. The trained therapists at Kidsplay will work with your child to provide individualized activities that will provide just the right sensory input as your child’s sensory system is maturing.
