that's such an important thing to talk about because, like you said, there could be so many things that happen.
We have no idea what their morning routine has looked like.
And then they come to a school, which is arguably the most overstimulating place that's ever existed, just with the fluorescent lights alone, the noise of other children, the pencil sharpener.
Like you said, the class down the hall that is doing Jack Hartman videos and dancing at 8 in the morning.
the gym, you know, like the buzzers in the gym, like there's a lot of things that are outside of their control that's happening at school.
So I'd love to know if there's if you could give any tips about a specific kid that you're working with, like what's one way that you're able to prevent dysregulation from happening with like a client on your caseload?
That's it.
I was going to say, I absolutely love that because I think, and that's what, one of the ways that my mindset changed after I took sensory training and you may agree was that, you know, there's a lot of, we can learn a lot of
approaches to help a child when they're dysregulated, but the kind of the bread and butter is learning how to prevent them from being dysregulated.
Who wants to be dysregulated, right?
And I can have every sensory strategy under the sun, but if I can't identify that it's coming, that their cup is being filled, it feels like we're always like behind it.
You know, we're always playing like the backend, like catch up.
And I want to be more proactive than reactive.
And I think-
expanding my knowledge base about sensory really helped me learn my role in being proactive because if they're dysregulated i think a lot of times people think oh sensory is an ot thing because they're looking at these reactive sensory strategies like okay now he's dysregulated how can i get him regulated and i believe slps can do that because you're out of school you know there's not ots just roaming the halls waiting to help you get your kids regulated but
if you can see it before it even happens and kind of circumvent it, then you never have to get to that point and you can keep working on your language skills.
Because that's the beautiful thing about language.
You could talk about language on a walk.
You can point at the birds and have conversations while you're out in nature.
And wouldn't it be better to do that versus, okay, now he's dysregulated, he can't talk to me, and now I have to get him back regulated.
