Sensory activities help individuals with autism regulate their sensory system, improve attention and focus, reduce anxiety, support emotional regulation, and increase participation in daily activities. These activities can provide calming input when a person is overwhelmed or alerting input when they need help staying engaged.
Examples include swinging, jumping, deep pressure, sensory bins, textured materials, music, and movement-based activities. Sensory activities are individualized because each person processes sensory information differently.
