Therapists know the importance of incorporating therapeutic and developmental activities into the everyday activities that a child and family experiences. From a trip to the playground to a day at the beach, there are so many sensory-rich experiences that summer life has to offer!
What if you could add a few activities to the summer bucket list that would promote developmental skills while encouraging the integration of sensory tasks that help with behavior, attention, self-regulation, development, and more?
The activities outlined in this Sensory Summer Activity Guide do just that!
