As you might know, sensory sensitivity affects children with ADD, ADHD, and Autism. They may not like to go outside and have rain in their face. They may not be able to play in the snow or outside when it’s really windy. Sensitivity to heavy jackets or not wanting to wear their boots may limit your options for these kiddos. I worked with a little guy who didn’t like to go outside in the rain or wash his hands because the feeling of water disturbed him. But boy did that he love to bounce. We would play games like bouncing like Tigger, jumping into pillows, etc. He had a great time, but after a while the other kids needed to stop and play calmly. He didn’t. The sensory path was a great way for him to contain his energy in a guided activity and let the other kids play in the same area but not get bumped into by him. If you run a preschool or a daycare-sensory paths in the hallway or in a wide space may help these kids by giving them a place to jump and play. They also them the ability to be able to be calm to do group activities afterwards. You can purchase the whole path, or one activity at a time.
