3 Strategies to Improve Focus

1️⃣ Meet the sensory threshold. This means to provide your child with the sensory input that their body is seeking out. Calming sensory strategies will not be effective if the sensory threshold has not been met!
2️⃣ Full body, heavy work. Anything that works the muscles and moves the body is going to help regulate the nervous system.
3️⃣ Use a tool. This can be any tool that your child likes and helps to keep their body and brain focused.
.
The Harkla Weighted Compression Vest is a great option, especially for the school setting.
.
It provides deep touch pressure as well as a little bit of extra proprioceptive input so the body can feel regulated.
.
Make sure you follow a wear schedule so that your child is not wearing it all the time, as this will decrease the effectiveness.
A trained OT can help determine the just right amount of time for your child to wear it!
