Tip of the Week!
During a sensory meltdown which sends the child into “fight or flight” try some of the following activities:-
* Keep calm
* Encourage deep breathing
* Do not talk or try to rationalise
* Provide a sensory retreat
Wait until the child’s facial colour reduces and their breathing settles down then:-
* Offer to conduct some therapy ball pressure to help them”feel better”
Hope this helps!
