Join Occupational Therapist, Sarah MacKenzie, as she introduces sensory processing differences and sensory diets.Neurodivergent individuals often experience challenges with sensory input to their brain. Some individuals are hypersensitive to sensory input of light, noise, sound, touch, and smell, while others may be hyposensitive to the senses. Whichever experience an individual has, there are ways professionals can help to combat it, sometimes through the use of sensory diets. Sensory diets are specifically designed for the individual to have a variety of sensory-based activities that are designed to assist with attention, arousal, and adaptive responses to their environment. Sensory diets can also be helpful in assisting someone in understanding their sensory needs, as many individuals who experience sensory challenges have a hard time discerning their specific areas of need. In this presentation we will go over what sensory diets are, and what they are used for. We will also go over sensory diet activities, and how to determine what sensory needs an individual has. While this lunch 'n' learn is intended for students, all are welcome.
