🧩 Some children find sounds, textures, or movement challenging. That’s okay, every brain processes the world differently.

Through sensory-based play like swinging, deep pressure, and movement games, Melville OT helps children feel calm, focused, and confident in their environments. 🌟

If your child gets overwhelmed or seeks constant movement, our team can help you discover fun, effective sensory strategies that truly support them. πŸ’›

πŸŒ€ Fun Fact: Sensory play is more than fun; it’s how children learn to regulate their bodies, emotions, and attention. 🌈

From swinging and jumping to feeling different textures, each activity helps build calm, focus, and confidence. 🌟

At Melville OT, we design playful, sensory-based sessions that help children grow through movement and joy. πŸ’›

✨ When we understand how smells and tastes affect comfort, we can create calmer mealtimes and more positive sensory experiences.
With gentle guidance and playful exploration, children can learn to enjoy food at their own pace. 🌼

At Melville OT, we use sensory-based strategies and family coaching to support confidence and connection around daily routines. 🌈

πŸ‘ƒ Does your child avoid certain foods, cover their nose, or react strongly to smells?

These behaviours may be signs of sensory sensitivity, not stubbornness. πŸ’›

At Melville OT, we guide families in supporting picky eaters and sensory-sensitive children through practical strategies that build confidence at the table and beyond. 🌿

🍎 Fun fact: Smell and taste are powerful senses that help children explore, connect, and feel safe in their world.

Sometimes a strong scent or new flavour can be overwhelming, and that’s okay! 🌈

At Melville OT, we help families understand sensory preferences to make daily routines and mealtimes calmer and more enjoyable. πŸ’›

✨ When we listen to what the body says, children feel seen, understood, and supported.
Sensory awareness builds trust, reduces meltdowns, and helps kids regulate emotions more easily. πŸ’›

Our team at Melville OT uses play, sensory tools, and parent coaching to create calmer days and happier moments. 🌿

🌈 Sometimes life feels too loud, too bright, or too much for children.
Covering ears, hiding, or avoiding places are not misbehaviours; they are signs that the body needs calm. πŸ’–

At Melville OT, we support families in recognising these signs and responding with care. Our sensory-based therapy helps children feel safe, regulated, and understood. ✨

πŸ’‘ Did you know? When a child covers their ears or hides under a blanket, it might not be defiance; it’s their body saying, β€œI need a break.”

Every action tells a story if we learn to listen with empathy. 🌈

At Melville OT, we help families understand these cues and build sensory strategies that support calm and confidence. πŸ’›

When emotions feel too big, deep pressure can bring comfort and calm. 🌸
It helps the body regulate, focus, and return to a sense of safety.

At Melville OT, we teach families how to use these strategies at home to make every day a little calmer. πŸ’›

Deep pressure is one of our favourite sensory tools for helping kids feel secure and ready to learn! βœ‹

Whether it’s through body socks, hugs, or gentle squeezes, it helps organise the body and mind.

At Melville OT, we guide families in using these calming strategies at home and in therapy. πŸ’›

Together, we can create moments of calm, confidence, and connection every day. 🌈

Fun fact! πŸ’›

Deep pressure (like a gentle squeeze, weighted blanket, or firm hug) helps send calming messages to the brain.

It tells the body, β€œYou’re safe now.” 🌼

At Melville OT, we use deep pressure and other sensory strategies to help children find calm, focus, and balance. ✨
