The video covered sensory regulation strategies and home programs for children with sensory processing challenges. Strategies for sensory seekers and avoiders were discussed, including the use of visual aids, noise-canceling headphones, and weighted items to support self-regulation. The importance of a structured home program was emphasized, incorporating activities like carrying weighted objects, engaging in heavy work, and using sensory tools such as chewy foods, fidget toys, and swings. Strategies to enhance self-regulation included structured movement breaks, incorporating sensory play, and transitioning activities with preferred sensory input. Goals focused on increasing participation in self-care, improving seated attention, and fostering social engagement. Home carryover recommendations included using a sensory schedule, movement-based regulation strategies, and environmental modifications to support sensory needs in daily routines. The session concluded with reflections on the intersection of sensory integration and behavioral approaches, emphasizing the need for individualized strategies that respect the child’s sensory preferences and learning style.
