At school, these students may work regularly \u2014 and in person \u2014 with an occupational therapist (OT). Right now, those services are either canceled, limited, or delivered using an online platform, which is not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>However, during school closures and summer months, parents can make a difference by addressing their kids\u2019 sensory needs at home.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.additudemag.com\/sensory-toys-spd-exercises-child\/#footnote1\">1<\/a><\/sup> Use the list below to incorporate sensory input in fun indoor and outdoor activities that will help your child achieve better focus and reduce unwanted sensory behavior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=&#8221;Click here to continue reading&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.additudemag.com%2Fsensory-toys-spd-exercises-child%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] 21 Sensory Toys and SPD Exercises for Your Sensitive Child written by Myranda Phillips, MS, OTR\/L, posted on Attitude Magazine Children with sensory processing disorder (SPD) may feel things intensely \u2014 or not at all.
