Positively Sensory Guide!

May 23, 2024 by jennifer Leave a Comment

Positively Sensory! is a sensory guide written to parents because a parent holds the most power to influence a child and shape his behavior for success. No person has greater potential for positive impact in a child’s life than a parent or caregiver. Positively Sensory! can also be used by professionals in their individual work with children or as a tool in partnering with parents to create lasting change and progress.

Positively Sensory! combines behavioral strategies with sensory processing information in order to help parents create healthy, happy learning situations and forward progress. Whether a child is learning to make a friend, learning to respond when spoken to, learning to dress, or learning academic information in a classroom, his brain synthesizes pieces of information brought in by different sensory systems, processes that information, and responds. Those responses are shaped by experience. Thoughtful, purposeful sensory opportunities can be a powerful key in providing experiences that are healing and set up positive growth and learning for a child.

Positively Sensory! will help parents and professionals identify the gift a child has to give, identify how a child learns best, identify how to help a child develop learning flexibility, and recognize the sensory barriers a child has and respect them. Developing a strong sensory processing and behavioral framework can help parents and professionals problem solve in even the toughest of situations. Engaging in positive, developmentally stimulating, and purposeful activities can be a game changer in the life of a child and help a child blossom to his full potential.
