In this episode of the Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn is joined by Rachel Harrington and Jessica Hill, certified occupational therapy assistants (COTAs) at Harkla and hosts of the All Things Sensory Podcast. They discuss the concept of sensory diets, which are not related to food but rather consist of various sensory activities designed to help children stay regulated. Listen in to hear how these activities can be integrated into daily routines (with specific examples), the importance of proactive sensory strategies, and their impact on mealtime behaviors. Rachel and Jessica emphasize the need for personalized approaches and provide truly practical tips for parents.
