Helping Children with Sensory Issues at the Park

In this chapter, they discuss different strategies to help children with sensory issues during park activities. They talk about using weight belts and ankle weights to provide heavy squeeze input, giving chewy and crunchy snacks for receptive input, and using water bottles with straws for oral motor probe input. They also suggest bringing brain break activities like bubbles and whistles. Another strategy they mention is role-playing before the activity to practice problem-solving and using 'I feel' messages without blaming others. They recommend making the role play silly and positive. Lastly, they mention using social stories to teach appropriate behavior and communication at the park.
