23.01.2022 INTEROCEPTION RESOURCES Many Autistic & other neurodivergent people have difficulty with interoceptive awareness -- identifying and interpreting our body's inte...rnal signals. This can make self-regulation difficult. This infographic by Occupational Therapist Kelly Mahler helps explain our very important "8th sense." For a deeper dive, please see: Extensive materials from the Department of Education - South Australia (tinyurl.com/v2f6t8j), including the excellent, free "Ready To Learn Interoception Kit" developed by Dr. Emma Goodall & team: www.education.sa.gov.au//ready-to-learn-interoception-kit. YouTube channel Healthy Possibilities, videos for teaching interoception: www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIovxevV3W2l2WXHDBkKxA/featured From Autistic author and consultant Judy Endow, "Autism & The Sensory System: Part 8 of 8:" www.judyendow.com//autism-and-the-sensory-system-part-8-of A free, downloadable version of this infographic is available at www.kelly-mahler.com/printable-resources.

11.01.2022 I shared this photo on my private Facebook page and my friend and colleague urged me to share it here. This is my youngest daughter, Ellie, helping me in the ga...rden. She loves helping but even more than that she loves being dirty. This makes the Sensory OT in me very excited. Our sensory groups are always so popular and the children benefit so much from sensory based play. We play with shaving cream, sand, water beads, paint, glue, glitter, play dough, slime and much more. If you would like to, why not share a photo on this post of your child enjoying messy/dirty/sensory play! This is an excerpt from an interesting article; Why It’s Beneficial to Let Your Kids Play in the Dirt? By Primrose Schools In this world of increasing technology, children are spending more of their time in front of screens and less time outdoors. A recent survey shows that children today play outside just half as much as their parents did growing up and in doing so, are missing out on vitamin D and numerous health benefits. Outdoor play goes hand in hand with exercise and helps children practice motor skills, build strong bones and burn off energy. Exploring outside also gives children the freedom to exercise their curiosity and develop problem-solving skills. And hands-on activities such as gardening gives young minds the opportunity to explore concepts about science, responsibility, conservation and nutrition. These benefits can help reduce stress and even make for happier, calmer kids. Believe it or not, playing in the mud can benefit children’s sensory development, creative thinking and even their immune system.
