At forest school, we often talk about how nature play is so important for our sensory development, but did you know that many of the developmental and behavioural challenges we see in children stem from our nervous system? In today's episode we scratch the surface of sensory integration, sensory processing and retained reflexes with Occupational Therapists, Rachel Harrington and Jessica Hill. 

👉  Rachel and Jess share

• About primitive reflexes
• About retaining reflexes 
• What we can do at home to help this
• Why we need sensory integration and the integration of primitive reflexes
• The kinds of things would you notice in your child if they had retained primitive reflexes
• The retained reflexes that are seen commonly in a classroom
• About sensory processing disorders
• Exercises, Strategies, and Tips to Help with SPD
• Some of the myths around sensory processing
• About diagnosis and how to identify them
• How nature helps in integrating the senses
• About sensory diets
• That parents may notice their own bodies, behaviours or patterns and find out that they too have a sensory processing disorder
• About working with families that have children with opposing sensory processing disorders
