Today, Colin’s occupational therapist, Rebecca Anderson from Los Angeles Unified School District, worked on tasks that would provide a meaningful sensory experience for Colin.
The lesson took place in the eating area adjacent to the kitchen. Colin was sitting in his new Ormesa Bug: http://www.adaptivemall.com/newbugsesy.html seating system, which continues to add to the success of each of Colin’s daily activities...from eating to learning to playing or just hanging out.
Becky brought various types of materials to put into the sensory bin – a plastic shoebox - that she planned to use. However, the sides of the bin were too tall for Colin to easily reach inside and touch the materials. Angela Pichinte, Colin’s caregiver, brought out what she usually uses for the sensory bin, a baking tray; and the size and shape was perfect for the lesson. Becky tempted Colin with various sizes of birdseed that he could feel with his fingers, plastic golf balls that he could roll and hold and small toys that could easily fit into his hand.
Colin likes to feel different textures and looks forward to his daily sensory adventure.
