REPOST- @thesensoryproject208 -Struggling with sleep? It all starts with sensory input! Kids (and adults!) need movement, outdoor time, and the right sensory stimulation during the day to rest well at night. #OccupationalTherapy #WhyChooseOT #SensoryRegulation #BetterSleep

Sensory tools aren’t “baby toys” — they’re regulation tools that help autistic teens reset, focus, and feel grounded.
From noise-canceling headphones to texture fidgets, each tool supports the nervous system differently.

My eyes and ears have dimmer switches. Society only sees a binary ON or OFF.
We're falsely regulated by others who ignore the true intensity of sensory input. My need is for nuance, not monitoring. Stop ignoring the dial for a simple switch.

A mechanical fan isn't just about air. It's about control. A directed, manufactured breeze with adjustable noise and intensity. It's an audible and felt safe haven—a small, limited environment I can actually adjust when the world is overwhelming. #SensoryRegulation #Neurodiversity #SafeHaven
Synthetic scents are a blessing and a curse. They can be a safe sensory tool, yet are also pushed & pulled away based on NT preference. The safety of a known/beloved chemical is often shattered by a new one being forced upon us. I need stable scent boundaries. #AuDHD #SensoryRegulation #SupportNeeds
Offering children a helpful story about the many #feelings they may experience when transitioning back to school from the holiday, we have different coloured ribbon for each feeling as well as #sensoryregulation tools to support this in #dramatherapy
REPOST- @thesensoryproject208 -Ever heard of a sensory diet? It’s a structured set of activities designed to help regulate the nervous system, so kids can focus and engage in daily tasks. From swinging and spinning to crawling and… #WhyChooseOT #SensoryRegulation #OTInAction #OccupationalTherapy
REPOST- @everyday_ot_ireland -Some kids struggle to sit still—but what if movement is what they need to focus? OT practitioners help children with self-regulation by providing tools and strategies to support their sensory needs. #WhyChooseOT #SensoryRegulation #OTInAction #OccupationalTherapy

Final word 💬
The study shows that successful integration of #SensoryRegulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, and #DDP requires:
❤️ Human insight
📚 Clinical knowledge
🛠️ Ongoing support systems
More research is also needed to move from theory to safe, reflective, and effective practice
Therapists & Services engaging in the integration of #SensoryRegulation #Theraplay #EMDR & #DDP should:
✅Focus on enhancing parent comfort during integration
✅Explain the “why” behind methods
✅Reflect on acceptability, not just outcome.
Better understanding = better outcomes
Therapists, take note 👂
Therapists in the study described the integration of #sensoryregulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, & #DDP as both powerful & challenging.
🧩 Integration requires qualification, thought, support, & skill — not random improvisation.
So What?
Real-world clinical impact 🌍🧠
Integrating #sensoryregulation #Theraplay #EMDR & #DDP is feasible & acceptable across a wide age range of adoptive parents (28–54) and children (3–13)
This is promising as integrating these models to varying degrees is already common.
First of its kind 🚨
Integrating these core models is becoming more and more common in clinical practise.
This is the first study to explore how feasible and acceptable it is to integrate #SensoryRegulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, and #DDP into one #AdoptionSupport intervention.
