Sensory Friendly Easter Egg Hunt (Part 2)

By

Sensory friendly Easter eggs shouldn’t be filled with candy or other foods. The reason is many children with sensory processing issues have difficulty with food due to certain textures and flavors. This often causes food aversions (a strong dislike for particular foods). Each child has their own unique issue with certain textures and flavors so there is no such thing as a universal food that they can all enjoy.

A way of including all children would be to fill the sensory friendly Easter eggs with various toys like cars, dinosaurs, animals, and stickers. Using toys ensures that the kids would leave with the toys to play with, rather than candy or food that may be left behind uneaten. If you try a sensory friendly Easter egg hunt this year, please let us know how it went. Also let us know if you have any other suggestions to make it an even more successful event.

Sensory Friendly Easter Egg Hunt (Part 1)

No need to have children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing issues be excluded from Easter egg hunts.  Sensory friendly Easter egg hunts are a great activity to include all children. However in the past, many special needs friends were excluded. Now Easter egg hunts can be made for kids with sensory issues.

There are several ways you can create an Easter egg hunt that is sensory friendly. Loud music should not be played. The more open space to move around, the better. You may want to limit the number of children participating at once so it does not end up being too crowded. Placing the eggs in easy to find spaces can be helpful too.

What should you put in the plastic eggs so neurodivergent children with sensory processing issues can all enjoy? Check back here next time for the creative and surprising answer!

Remote Learning: Neck and Back Pain

By

Are your children doing any remote learning this year? Many kids use a laptop computer in positions that may feel comfortable at the moment but are doing damage in the long run. Many students are suffering from neck and back pain due to long periods of time on their laptops sitting in unhealthy positions. Due to poor ergonomics, students are getting neck and upper back pain, which often includes pain into the shoulders as well.

Next time we will share some ergonomic suggestions to keep your kids pain-free while working remotely from home.
