New page about Sensory Processing in Teens:
In
this
information era we tend to put little emphasis on physical
exercise and even at school it seems to have low
priority.
Generally speaking , physical
activities have
a positive affect on all teens for example biking to school, sports,
dancing. If an older child or teenager has more than average
problems with sensory processing, it can be necessary to put an extra
demand on his tactile and vestibular or balancing system. This will
enforce these bodily senses, so that he will start to "feel" better in
both senses of the word.
You find activities, games and other information for your teens on this new web page.

Article to read.
Cris Rowan, a Canadian occupational therapist, wrote in SI Focus about: The Impact of Technology on Child Sensory and Motor Development. A very interesting paper in which the enormous importance of touching, feeling and moving for children is stressed. An extra reason to do the described games, play- and other activities on a regular base with your child.
