autism

When kids are in the 3 to 5 year old bracket it is helpful to try and coordinate therapy into play time. Some sensory therapies can be done simply by buying large bags of raw beans and/or rice and filling big containers. You can start by having the kids just sticking their hands in it. Many kids will take time to enjoy this activity because of various texture aversions so it can be gradually introduced. You can use toys in the rice and make mountains and caves. Kitty litter boxes are good for foot play. As your child is able to tolerate it you can get one of those huge buckets and actually put them in it. This activity while keeping them engaged also works to integrate nerve endings which can calm down over active senses.
