We’ve talked a bit about sensory regulation, how it works, and why it is essential. So, how can you expose your child to different sensory experiences and stimuli? Through sensory play! Sensory bins are a great activity for your child to participate in sensory play.

What is sensory regulation? It might be a term that you hear your child’s therapist use often. In simple terms, sensory regulation is how our body processes and regulates all the different sensory stimuli it encounters. Our body is constantly taking in different sensations both outside and inside our body, and our body needs to regulate how it reacts to those other sensations.
