Sensory tasks at home
Short, regular activities work best. Pick one or two for each part of the day and watch what helps.
After school
- Wall push-ups or carrying the laundry basket
- Animal walks to the car or letterbox
- Quiet time with a weighted lap pad
Meal time
- Chair with feet supported
- Helping stir, pour and carry plates
- Chewy or crunchy foods to start
Bedtime
- Warm bath, then firm towel squeeze
- Dim lights, slow rocking or a story
- Weighted blanket if recommended by your OT
These are general ideas. Your therapist will tailor a sensory diet to your child.
