“There is a great expectation for children to stay on task, practice “quiet sitting” and to control their impulses. In certain situations, these expectations are reasonable but what about the child who either has an over active system or an under active system?
For these children, sitting still may feel like an insurmountable task. If a child has a sensory processing disorder we strongly recommend consulting with an occupational therapist for a targeted treatment plan.” – Mosswood Connections
