AJ knows not to throw things in the air because Dr. Lindsey tells him not to.

For those of you who are not familiar with “Raising a Sensory Smart Child”…http://www.sensorysmarts.com/

We just purchased noise reducing headphones at a Walmart in Georgia (in the hunting department) and they are a lifesaver. He was able to sit outside the other day and watch the City workers jack hammer on the street with no problem. Before he would have run away screaming. In fact, when we were downtown Chicago this weekend I forgot them and he was very upset with the L-train and made me cover his ears while pushing his stroller. It was quite difficult.

I will never leave home without them.

Diana Henry, an OT SI Guru uses the word “Sensory Buffet” rather than “Sensory Diet.” I like that it implies the limitless range of choices that will help with self-regulation. BFN
