It also includes the movement senses, proprioceptive and vestibular, and the \u201cinternal\u201d or interoceptive sense. Sensory play stimulates neural connections in the brain that integrate with the sensory system.<\/p>\n<p>The optimum sensory environment offers fun activities that incorporate the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Different sounds<\/li>\n<li>A variety of colors and shapes<\/li>\n<li>Different textures<\/li>\n<li>A variety of scents and smells<\/li>\n<li>Opportunities for movement and body awareness<\/li>\n<li>Activities engaging fine and gross motor skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Exciting sensory experiences\u00a0even include different tastes! Think herb gardens, or fruits and vegetables.\u00a0In fact, sensory diets are a key aspect of weaving in sensory play throughout a child\u2019s daily routine to help meet needs and teach skills in regular and predictable doses. These are well thought out and person specific\u2014an example of one of the many ways that sensory play is vital to developing children and accounts for individual needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Sensory Play Significant?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4099 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sensory-play-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A boy sitting on lap of therapist engaging in sensory play with green textured plastic. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sensory-play-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sensory-play-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sensory-play-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sensory-play-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sensory-play.jpg 1254w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although sensory stimulation during playtime is important for all children, it&#8217;s particularly critical for those with disabilities. Kids who are living with disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder or cerebral palsy experience more barriers to enjoyable and fulfilling sensory activities. Often, they need more practice before their bodies, minds, and neural pathways can fully benefit.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Sensory Play Benefit Children with Disabilities?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4098 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1352437682-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A girl with Down Syndrome blowing bubbles outdoors. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1352437682-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1352437682-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1352437682-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1352437682-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1352437682.jpg 1254w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When activities are more enjoyable, we do them more often. By the way, this is true for adults, too! Varied sensory stimuli offer different ways to learn about the environment, ourselves, and about others. The result? A solid foundation for emotional, physical, social, and cognitive development. Let&#8217;s take a look at some details about how different forms of sensory information help our kids.<\/p>\n<h3>Boosts Cognitive Development<\/h3>\n<p>A variety of sensory experiences stimulate curiosity and exploration. By working with different textures and shapes, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aruma.com.au\/about-us\/blog\/benefits-of-sensory-activities-for-kids-with-disabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kids\u00a0learn about similarities and differences<\/a>. Fun activities\u00a0that require tasks such as matching and fitting pieces together stimulate the parts of the brain responsible for attention and memory. With progressively complex types of exploration, kids sharpen problem-solving skills. Sensory input also spurs imaginative play, which assists in abstract thinking and academic achievement.<\/p>\n<h3>Develops Motor Skills<\/h3>\n<p>Strategically designed sensory activities\u00a0improve\u00a0fine motor skills, such as\u00a0hand-writing and self-feeding. Gross motor skills include running, maintaining balance, and navigating stairs. Hand-eye coordination is a great example of how the brain uses visual stimuli to move a body part to where it needs to be to complete a task.<\/p>\n<h3>Improves Sensory Integration<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/childmind.org\/article\/sensory-processing-issues-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sensory processing disorders<\/a>\u00a0are often diagnosed\u00a0when a young child becomes particularly overwhelmed by various sensory stimuli such as bright lights, slippery textures, or loud noises. Sensory tables are extremely helpful for kids with sensory issues because they allow them to experience different objects in an organized fashion on their own terms.<\/p>\n<h3>Builds Speech and Language Skills<\/h3>\n<p><em>So, what do young children do when their sensory play activities help them make new discoveries? Well, they talk about it! <\/em><\/p>\n<p>As kids excitedly share experiences with teachers, caregivers, and peers, they practice communication skills. This is a sure-fire pathway to more advanced language development, reading skills, and fluency.<\/p>\n<h3>Encourages Social Interaction<\/h3>\n<p>The improvements in language skills\u00a0have an extremely positive impact on social skills. Kids learn to take turns, to be empathetic and learn about the likes and dislikes of others. These experiences help kids to practice positive social interactions before they get into the world of adolescence, employment, and adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>CHECK IT OUT: How<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pentagonplay.co.uk\/news-and-info\/benefits-of-sensory-play-for-children-with-special-educational-needs#:~:text=It%20helps%20to%20build%20nerve,a%20child's%20problem%20solving%20skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> innovative accessible playgrounds<\/a>\u00a0and playground equipment that promotes\u00a0community inclusion of young people with disabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Improves Emotional Development<\/h3>\n<p>Social interaction, cognition, communication skills, sensory integration&#8230;all of these abilities\u00a0coalesce, leading to positive emotional development. We learn what calms us as well as what makes us anxious. In addition, we learn about collaborating with others for work, recreation, and community activities.<\/p>\n<h3>Develops a Sense of Self<\/h3>\n<p>The experiences we describe\u00a0inform children about their strengths, challenges and how they can positively fit into the world in which we live. This results in\u00a0self-awareness and\u00a0self-esteem. At ALSO, this is what we all work for. It&#8217;s so exciting to see children grow and develop into confident adults!<\/p>\n<h2>ALSO Support Services and Sensory Play<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3976 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KM_Heart_Work_2022_Shot_02_0183-e1675273406457-971x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"971\" height=\"1024\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KM_Heart_Work_2022_Shot_02_0183-e1675273406457-971x1024.jpg 971w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KM_Heart_Work_2022_Shot_02_0183-e1675273406457-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KM_Heart_Work_2022_Shot_02_0183-e1675273406457-768x810.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KM_Heart_Work_2022_Shot_02_0183-e1675273406457-500x527.jpg 500w, https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KM_Heart_Work_2022_Shot_02_0183-e1675273406457.jpg 1016w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 971px) 100vw, 971px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 971px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 971\/1024;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>At ALSO, we actively incorporate sensory play into <a href=\"https:\/\/alsoweb.org\/children-services\/\">children&#8217;s support services<\/a>.\u00a0 The sensory play activities we have described help children to do the <em>work of childhood <\/em>that facilitates fuller, more productive, and happier lives as adults.<\/p>\n<p>This is why we are working to acquire funds for sensory rooms, tools, and equipment as a part of the supports that align with residential and housing services.
