How To: Sensory Walk
Fall is the perfect time to do a sensory walk outside because of all of the leaves (if you are in an area of the country that this is happening). One of my favorite things to do with AJ is take an afternoon walk and use it as a sensory “unwind” from school.
Take a walk and look for things that are soft like sand, dirt, etc. Look for pine cones or rocks that are hard and rough or smooth. Look at tree leaves or flowers that are smooth, flat or detailed. The conversation can lead into different discussions about textures and nature.
Most of the time it also ties in with things he is doing at school. Last year they were actually collecting leaves for an art project so we collected different colors and shapes on our walks. The year before we jumped in the leaves as part of his therapy. It worked out great.
