Sensory Fun in the Snow!

  • Shoveling snow gives your child heavy muscle work activity that can be very calming and organizing.
  • Go sledding for a burst of movement and muscle activity.
  • Make angels in the snow, roll snowballs, and build snow forts to improve motor planning.
  • Throw snowballs at targets to increase visual motor skills.
  • Snow shoeing is another way to get some heavy muscle work.
  • Hide toys in snow for your child to find to improve tactile and visual discrimination.
  • Bring a cookie sheet of snow inside to practice drawing designs and letters.
Stay warm and have fun!

Did you know that when you construct powerful, individualized sensory diets that you are providing one of the most TRANSFORMATIVE treatment approaches available to support outcomes related to attention, learning, social relating, coping, positive family interactions, sense of identity, the list goes on, and on..... Wow!    When done well, a sensory diet can change lives!  The power of effective sensory diets comes from precision and clinical reasoning.   The sensory diet becomes sensory support, at best, or silly sensory tricks, at worst, when not carefully planned and implemented.  The Sensory Diet session at this year's RAIR symposium is meant to move your clinical practice to the highest level of neurological based clinical reasoning, along with practical and innovative ways to have success in implementing and monitoring the sensory diets.  Additionally, fun, practical implementation of powerful sensory diets via case studies will allow you to leave the session ready to TRANSFORM your use of this important intervention!
