Ep 14 - Understanding the Vestibular, Proprioceptive and Tactile systems - with Lisa Hughes
Description
Have you ever noticed that certain body movements can help your children feel safer in their own skin? Do you have a wriggler or a roller or a bouncer? Do they seek out your touch or shy away from it?
Understanding your child’s vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile systems can be a key to helping them feel grounded and comfortable when other stimuli are overwhelming.
We will be discussing what these systems are, why they are so important to the neurodivergent child and how you can be proactive in introducing ways that help these systems to support your child’s regulation journey.
We're joined by Lisa Hughes of Occupational Therapy Helping Children as she shares more than thirty years experience of helping children feel comfortable in their bodies.
