In my fieldwork, I worked in a pediatric setting. One of the children I worked with had autism and I did not know much about that. One of the first things I learnt was about sensory integration. The video below explains children and sensory integration.
Video 1:
Video 2: Gymnastics as sensory integration
Video 3: Weighted Belts and Sensory Integration
Video 4: Demonstration of an Autistic child feeling sand as a way to calm his senses.
Video 5: Information on Sensory Integration Disorder, which is helpful for people to understand.
This looks like really interesting Fatuma. Is this what you did on fieldwork or is it an interest you have to get in to?
