Happy #SensorySaturday! Slime is a squishy and delightful tactile experience that helps develop grip strength. We had a blast making it with ⁦@SchoolMde⁩ at our Maker's Fair! #sensoryplay #ot #sensory

“#Sensory sensitivities are not constant. Just because someone could “handle”noise yesterday does not mean they can handle the same noise today. Everyone has their own range of what is comfortable for them but vary within that range within minutes/hours/days/months.”-great post👇🏻

What is #occupationaltherapy? #OT enables clients to participate meaningfully in their daily tasks or #occupations which include taking care of one’s self (self-care), paid/volunteer work or going to school (productivity) & playing & enjoying life! (leisure) #31dayOTchallenge

“... I at times use person first language and at other times use identity first language.I recognize the value of these different ways of talking about #autism, and try to use them equally and with respect.” From @DrJonathanWeiss- these words resonate with me, I will do the same.

Here are some "Classroom as the Third Teacher" strategies as it relates to 'Lighting'. #SelfReg
💡 Natural lighting maximized
💡 Fluorescent lighting minimized, where possible
💡 Curtains to create darker areas
💡 Lamp for ambience

So true-I worked in an eating disorders unit years ago in the UK. There were girls with anorexia who were always a mystery to the team. I now recognize that they were autistic & their challenges with eating did not stem from a desire to be thin but were #sensory & anxiety-based.
