Project: Sensory with Rachel Harrington and Jessica Hill

Sensory processing is a complex entity with lots of intricacies and is often times overlooked and misunderstood. As occupational therapists, it is our job to uncover underlying sensory processing and sensory modulation problems within our clients and then educate and provide tips and strategies to help them learn to integrate the information for success and optimal function within their daily lives. Rachel Harrington, COTA/L, AC and Jessica Hill, COTA/L come on the show to cover a broad overview of what sensory processing is, what it looks like, and some of their favorite activities to address sensory concerns.Sarah, Rachel, and Jessica discuss:Common misconceptions of sensory processingWhat sensory processing and sensory integration isAn overview of the sensory systemsThe fine line between typical sensory functioning and dysfunctionHow they got into and interested in sensory integrationWhat the Sensory Project is and how it startedTheir favorite sensory activities and equipment: The Hammock SwingSensory resources for therapists:PESISensational BrainRasing a Sensory Smart ChildThe Out of Sync Child Has FunThe Out Of Sync ChildThe Superkid’s Activity Guide for Conquering EverydayFind them:Website: https://thesensoryproject.com/Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSensoryProject208The Sensory Project Show PodcastEmail: thesensoryprojectshow208@gmail.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/thesensoryprojectshowFacebook: https://facebook.com/thesensoryprojectshow
