Treatment or management of sensory issues usually involves a variety of strategies, depending on the individual’s needs.
Some common approaches:
- Occupational Therapy (OT): An occupational therapist can help individuals develop coping strategies, tolerance, and appropriate responses to sensory stimuli through techniques like sensory integration therapy.
- Sensory Diet: A sensory diet includes activities that help the person manage sensory input, such as using calming music, deep pressure (e.g., weighted blankets), or movement breaks.
- Environmental Modifications: Making changes to the environment to reduce sensory overload (e.g., using noise-canceling headphones, dimming lights, or creating quiet spaces).
- Desensitization: Gradually introducing the individual to sensory stimuli in a controlled way to help them tolerate and adjust to the input over time.
- Self-Regulation Techniques: Teaching coping strategies like breathing exercises, mindfulness, or using fidget tools to help with sensory regulation.
