Creating and Implementing Sensory Diet Routines to Improve Daily Activities - https://harkla.co/products/sensory-diet-course
In today’s episode, we dive into the world of sensory avoiders—children (and even adults) who may experience heightened sensitivity to sensory input and react with avoidance or distress. We'll explore key signs that your child might be a sensory avoider and share 5 practical tips for helping them manage sensory overload, whether at home, in the clinic, or in everyday situations.
Some signs that your child may be a sensory avoider:
The fight or flight response when entering new or familiar situations
Avoiding certain movements
Sensitivity to sounds (like vacuums or blenders) that lead to meltdowns
Extreme picky eating habits
Struggling to focus in busy environments, or avoiding them altogether
