Amazing learning opportunity!!

I will be joining my friend Santucci, Occupational Therapist for the Sensory Journey Summit - a FREE, thoughtfully curated, high-impact virtual event that brings together 12–15 leaders who champion neurodiversity-affirming care and connection-based approaches. Personally, I’m a HUGE fan of so many of the speakers so I can’t wait to learn!!!! The summit, hosted by Greg on the ClimbRx platform, explores innovative ways to support children through safety, connection, and co-regulation. My topic is all about Interoception & Co-Regulation.

Shoelaces— using the COOP strategy over our last few sessions to practice and come up with a plan on How to tie laces… So proud of my grade 4 kiddo A who practiced different ways before he found the right plan that worked for him.

Excellent article and love the BEST strategies from Moira Pena OT Reg. Ont.

I currently have a client who is 11 years old who is Autistic and only eats his food in a bowl with all the food groups cooked in a stew. This is what has worked for him and his family till date. His mom is worried about what will happen as he gets older and one of the areas that we are working
on is if this is also my clients goal. We began with an assessment of his sensory preferences and differences and he is keen on knowing the why he doesn’t likecertain foods and textures. Most importantly he feels safe to experiment and his preferences and choices are validated,
so that he is in control of his choices for foods and the mealtimes experience.

Motor challenges are so often missed in Autistic children and it’s so important that motor skills are assessed so that the child can participate in activities in school and play.

This recent paper discussed motor problems in individuals. The authors recommend that regardless of the cause of motor difficulties, it is important to recognise and increase awareness of motor problems in autism and that a clear assessment and intervention pathway is required.
