An Open Letter to the Yoplait Company

October 6, 2015 by Sarah Parshall Perry 2 Comments

An Open Letter to the Yoplait Company To Whom it May Concern: I write to you concerning your product offering known as “Go-Gurt.” I’m not even sure I’m hyphenating or capitalizing this word correctly. Your website isn’t exactly clear. I think it’s actually “Go⇒Gurt” but just typing that took clip art and 10 minutes of my time. Nevertheless, I need to explain what may have been a radical … [Read more...]

What if we actually learned to rest?

January 14, 2015 by Laurie Wallin 1 Comment

Can I tell you a secret? I was ecstatic when the kids went back to school last week after Christmas break. This is, of course, not a shocker to you at all. But do you know why I was glad? It wasn't because my routine-craving kids were back to the routine. Or that I could sit still longer than 3 minutes without some sort of emotional or social crisis erupting among my four girls. Or even that I … [Read more...]

February 12, 2014 by Laurie Wallin 3 Comments

"We can’t selectively numb emotion. Numb the dark and you numb the light." - Brene Brown It's a truth I wanted to unwrite that night. Sinking down onto the kitchen floor, a mob of emotions clamoring for dominance inside me: Humiliation. Exhaustion. Anger. Fear. All I'd wanted was to get some exercise (I know, I know, What's that??!). To skate around the local lake with my kids and provide a … [Read more...]

One item that can help your child calm down, focus, and pay attention

October 5, 2013 by michael 4 Comments

My son’s sensory issues manifest themselves with a lot of extra movement.  I’d describe him as “restless.” He always seems to be “on the go,” rarely staying in one place for any length of time.  Sitting still and paying attention whether it’s in school, church, or at home is a challenge for him. Most children can be fidgety at one time or another, but kids with autism, ADHD, and sensory … [Read more...]

How A Sensory Table Can Benefit Your Child

September 28, 2013 by michael 2 Comments

Children with special needs, just like all children, are wired to receive and utilize sensory input from day one.  This is why many children will dive in hands first, exploring a favorite substance.  The senses are their most familiar, most basic way to explore, process, and come to understand new information. The sensory table was literally the first item that our occupational therapist … [Read more...]
