- reduce distractions
- games (bean bag toss/balloon volleyball)
- copying
- i spy
- bubbles
What is the influence of oral sensory development?
- mouth/hand have highest # of sensory receptors per square inch of any other part of the human body
- exploration by mouthing
- direction & selection of movement
What are the various sensory systems?
- vestibular
- tactile
- proprioceptive

What are the 4 types of oral sensory problems?
hyper reaction
hypo reaction
sensory defensiveness
sensory overload
What are the taste (oral) SID behaviors?
- gustatory/taste disturbances

- auditory/hearing disturbances
- olfactory/smell disturbances
- visual disturbances
What are some oral supports for SID children?
- chewing licorice/gum/pretzels
- fingers/cloth massage around mouth
