A tool to help a child with sensory processing difficulties is the use of a “Sensory Diet” which includes possible changes to your child’s environment as well as participation in meaningful sensory based activities. A sensory diet is like a menu of activities and strategies which should be selected with your child’s interests and individual needs in mind.
