Ep. 3 Tune Into Your Senses
from Resiliency mOTivators Hosted by Ashley, Alyssa, Andrea, Elena and Joey
This portion of our podcast series “Tune Into Your senses” is all about sensory diet strategies to decrease stress and promote mindfulness. First, we’re going to delve into what a sensory diet is. People of all ages can benefit from a sensory diet. First described by Patricia Wilbarger, the “sensory diet” is used as an intervention to provide sensory-based strategies throughout an individual’s day to facilitate an optimal level of arousal, promote typical development and improve occupational performance in the context of daily life. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what occupational performance is, this is a common term and focal point within the occupational therapy world. Occupational performance is an individual's ability to carry out their activities of daily life and be productive within their own roles. This is the final episode (#3) of our three-part series.
