Sensory Diet Cards
Imagine Meeting Your Child's Sensory Needs Easily...
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with your child's sensory diet?
Maybe you wonder what sensory activities you should be offering your child?
Maybe, you can't find activities that work?
Or, maybe you know a sensory diet would help, but don't know where to start...
Sensory diet's are meant to meet your child's sensory needs!
To help improve their attention, communication, learning, and interactions with other's...
Because, when the brain doesn't have to worry about trying to get the sensory input its craving or avoiding it can think clearly.
These cards are an "easy button" so you don't have to think about the various sensory activities that might help your child.
They also allow them to choose what their body needs when they need it!
