Back to School Sensory Check-up, Part II

by

How to do a Back to School Sensory Check-up:

1. Check all clothing for scratchy tags, nubbies from over wearing, and elastics are not too tight.

2. Make sure all new clothing is washed and all clothing that was possibly washed in another type of detergent (not a gluten/casein free detergent is rewashed.

3. Check that all school clothing fits correctly. I know that in our house Little Pickel will not wear clothing that does not fit correctly. He won’t wear pajamas that do not fit snuggly or have “nubbies”. He was once up until 4 a.m. until I realized he did not like his pajamas. As soon as I changed them he fell right to sleep.

4. Make sure equipment like Weighted Lap Pads, scissors, weighted vests, ear muffs, school fidgets and vibrating toys for calmers are all in good shape. If they are not, head to Therapy Shoppe for all your school needs.

5. Fill out this form for your child’s teacher. (if you can’t read the form, go here.

6. Make sure the teacher has the following documents:
Understanding Sensory Integration Issues
Working with the Child Who Has Sensory Integration Disorder
Sensory Integration, Tips to Consider
Tips for Teachers
