Glide Insert for Academia Chairs Buddy Series Chair Dolly This product is a part of 120 Series Poly Chair by Academia There are 5 products in the familyMary Kostka is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist specializing in Sensory Processing Disorder at her private practice, ‘Ohana Occupational Therapy, LLC, in Wenatchee and Leavenworth, Washington. At our clinic we see over 100 kids per week with sensory processing disorder. Most of these children have a hard time with the “Big Three Power Senses” of position, movement and touch. Position receptors are in the muscles and joints (proprioception sense) and are activated by joint compression and muscle contraction.
Movement receptors (vestibular sense) are located in the inner ear and respond to movement in all directions. Touch receptors are located in our skin. Together the Big Three Power Senses give us a remarkably accurate sense of where our body is in space and allows us to not have to think about our bodies when we are performing higher level tasks such as school work. For example, a five year old should be able to touch the tip of their finger to the tip of their nose with eyes closed within one cm. This allows us to go into automatic pilot for everything from sitting to holding a pencil. When children are not getting precise information for position, movement and touch they will seek out information they need (e.g. bouncing, running, touching everything, spinning, pushing, frequently getting up out of their seat, chewing on pencils, crashing into objects or people, and holding a pencil too tightly). There are ways to provide this much needed sensory input to their bodies in productive and non distracting ways which in turn will increase the child’s ability to pay attention and be productive in the classroom.
Sensory input to increase attention Most classroom furniture does not fit your students. Start by making sure their feet can touch the floor while their back is supported. If not, provide a pillow behind their back to fill the space (attach it with a T shirt pulled over the pillow and back of the chair) and put something under their feet such as a plastic tub filled with books. The desk should be elbow height (desks are usually adjustable). Often these changes are enough to provide the sensory input they need to stay in their seat. If not, provide alternate seating such as: 2) Table top activities to increase attention 3) Physical activity to increase attention Children were designed to move and not to sit all day. There are many ways to increase movement in your classroom without loosing control of it. 15-20 minutes should be the maximum time spent sitting at a time.
