Family sensory training 28 methods

  1. others to play catch games.
  Training purpose: social skills/arm motor skills
  Training requirements: Parents and children sit across from each other, parents hand the ball to the child and encourage the child to do the same to the parents.

  Help giving: If the child does not have the initiative to catch and give the ball, ask another adult to give physical guidance until the child starts to have the awareness to catch and give the ball, then gradually withdraw the help given.
  2. Be able to catch a rolling ball and push it back.
  Training purpose: arm movement ability, hand-eye coordination

  Difficulty setting: Start by pushing and catching the ball within an arm’s length, and encourage the child to catch the ball with both hands. Push the ball with the right hand from right to left. Gradually increase the distance and encourage the child to push the ball outward with both hands and catch it with one hand.

Then brush the feet, first brush the toes, heels, and then gradually transition to brush the center of the foot. If the child resists, you can only rub a little at a time, repeatedly try, until the child is used to this tactile stimulation.
  10.Tunnel
  Training purpose: to regulate the vestibular sensory system and strengthen the skin contact stimulation.
  Training requirements: let the child prone body, crawl through the tunnel.
  Difficulty setting: If the child is afraid, first let it play around the tunnel and observe how other children do, let the child touch and shake the tunnel to develop its interest and eliminate fear; if the child does not cooperate, you can give food reinforcement, Dad children like to eat snacks or fruit in the tunnel, encourage the child to climb in to get food; let the child crawl while pushing a medium-sized ball forward.
