Parents,

You may be seeing that your child may need a special place to take a break from their learning environment and need a specific place to "chill out". This place may need to be different from their bedroom, your living room or family room. Maybe, the kids need to create a special corner in their own room designated for this because you don't have an extra space, just waiting to be converted. Also, maybe a break from learning just requires a fidget or a new sensory experience. This video addresses all of the above. Dr. Ray talks about a Sensory Room for Exceptional Students but the ideas can be adapted on any level. I loved the idea of making a special place for the kids, a place that is just for relaxing! I also loved the idea of the body pillows to hold onto, extra pillows to make a fort at a moments notice and also the ideas to have fidgets on hand. This video is definitely worth a view.

If you would like to talk about it, or your child's needs and how I can help, please contact me. I'd love to hear from you.

Organizing Your Child's Day

This is a helpful video for parents who would like to know more about helping to organize the day for their child. I especially like the idea of putting the day's schedule on a shoebox and putting the child's supplies inside the box. This creates a sense of independence and structure for the child. It's a win/win for all.
