Welcome May!
Our creative Sibshoppers made some awesomely fun foil sculptures for our trickle in activity.
We were so lucky to have local occupational therapist, Heidi Woolley, join us for what turned out to be an exceptionally fun Sibshop! Heidi's presentation focused on our sensory system and what it may feel like for our siblings whose sensory systems may be underwhelmed or overwhelmed by all the stimuli out in the environment.
She shared this excellent video on what it feels like to have Sensory Processing Disorder.
Our Sibshoppers then had numerous opportunities to experience a variety of sensory activities related to taste, vision, smell, touch, hearing, proprioception and the vestibular system.
This super sour taste taste had at least one Sibshopper in an intense pucker!
Watch where you're going! With their vision impaired, our Sibshoppers found it a bit tricky to walk a straight line.
The Sibshoppers really enjoyed all their opportunities for sensory exploration and discovery provided by Heidi. Again, we were so lucky to have her join us!
It can be a bit challenging to complete a task when your tactile system is on high alert! These scratchy scarfs certainly didn't help.
When is the last time you played in some shaving cream?!
Snug as a bug in a rug!
We often take for granted how wonderfully our bodies work! How they take in information, sort it and help us figure out what is important is truly amazing!
