Sensory Strategies as Tools for Self-Regulation and Healing

As a part of the 80×3 Initiative through Greater Twin Cities United Way, Center for Inclusive Child Care created the following video with Pediatric Occupational Therapist Alyssa Mason.

Part 1 focuses on the connections between sensory systems, self-regulation, co-regulation and the impact of trauma as well as what to pay attention to in group care environments and the importance of consent.

Part 2 demonstrates “hands on” and “hands off” strategies targeting each sensory system, along with strategies to request consent as well as what helps us know when strategies are working.
