AnonyMouse_15046 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 A thread on another forum where a teacher is using a reward chart to try to get a child with sensory processing disorder to sit still on the carpet has prompted me to share this video. I have linked to it before but I don't think it does any harm to remind ourselves once in a while that some children have to choose between sitting still and concentrating. They simply can't do both successfully. 3
AnonyMouse_39602 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Thank you Upsy Daisy , we all need reminding from time to time 1
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 It's a very good point. I think it's very easy to forget. Thank you 1
Guest Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I wasn't even aware that SPD existed until having my daughter, who has just been diagnosed with ASD (so I have been doing a LOT of reading up!) - I was aware that some children have sensory issues, but it hadn't crossed my mind that not being able to sit still was one of them. I have been a lot more mindful of this since and don't mind fidgety bums so much now! Thanks for sharing
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Thank you. Made me think of our two year olds who are very much still trying out how their bodies work in relation to the space and other people around them.
