In this episode, we take a closer look at our sense of proprioception. We talk about what proprioception feels like, what it looks like and feels like when our sense of proprioception is dysregulated and the impact that proprioception has on our daily lives.Direct contact: sensoryella@gmail.comSide note: I upgraded my podcasting equipment to enhance the sound quality of these episodes!

In this episode, we continue the conversation about behaviors, but we look at them from the lens of the adult working with the individual demonstrating the behavior. We specifically talk about expectations, consistency, follow through, and reinforcement. We break down the impact that these factors can have on behaviors, as well as additional aspects such as bribery, planned ignoring and our reactions to behaviors.Direct contact: sensoryella@gmail.com

In this episode we talk further about the difference between self (emotional) regulation and sensory regulation, what to look for when identifying what a behavior is a result of and why it is important to differentiate between behaviors and what caused the behaviors to occur.Direct contact - sensoryella@gmail.com

In this episode we delve further into self regulation and how we can guide children (and others) to understand their emotions and how to express them. I tie in a tool I utilize in my practice as an OT  (Feelings Charts) to further explain how to guide children (and others) when learning to self regulate.Direct Contact - sensoryella@gmail.com

In this episode we talk about:*Regulation - sensory vs self regulation*Behaviors as a result of dysregulation*A sensory hierarchy*Behavior as communicationContact me as sensoryella@gmail.com

In this episode, we take a different look at sensory modulation through the lense of Winnie Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing through these four quadrants - sensory seeking, low registration, sensory avoiding and sensory sensitivity. Resource for Winnie Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing/Framework:http://downloads.pearsonclinical.com/images/Assets/SensoryProfile2/SP2-Infogrfx.pdf

In this episode I provide examples of sensory modulation differences. We go further in to which sensation is being modulated, what size cup they have (from the cup analogy in episode 2) and what sensory modulation difference it is and why. I wanted to further explain sensory modulation differences before moving forward and explaining other aspects of sensory processing. Please contact me at sensoryella@gmail.com with an comments, questions or experiences you've had!

In this episode we break down sensory modulation and what it may look like to be under responsive, over responsive or a sensory craver. What do these terms mean for someone with sensory processing differences and how does that help us to better understand them? I then further break down sensory modulation with an analogy to visualize these sensory modulation differences.

In this episode, I introduce myself and what my plans are for this podcast, an introduction to the sensory system, sensory processing and what it means to have sensory processing differences. I am an occupational therapist currently working in a school based setting. I have a passion for working with children with sensory processing differences. Supporting their ability to participate in every aspect their life to their fullest ability and improve their overall quality of life.
