A Common Language for Holistic Intervention: From Distress to Resilience: Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up - A combined Perspective on Well-being and Learning.
We face a common and pressing challenge: a rise in distress, restlessness, and vulnerability among children, young people and adults.
As professionals, we all work to foster the well-being and development of those in our care. Often, psychologists and educators work by the way of thoughts, narratives, and behavioral patterns shaped by life experiences.
What if one of the overlooked keys to reversing this trend lies hidden in the child's inner resource's, body and nervous system?
My occupational therapy approach works mostly "bottom-up" perspective in additional to "top-down" perspective. I don't focus on the existing experiences, but on re-calibrating the sensorimotor system that provides the raw data upon which those experiences are built. This area of body visdom can calibrate the deeper nervessystem, senses and filter of perception to booste embodied safty and sens of self mastery from within.
As an occupational therapist specializing in sensory integration, I offer a practice-based and science-backed perspective that can supplement existing interventions. My approach provides a common, embodied language that can strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and give you a deeper understanding of why people in all ages acts the way they do.

In this course you will learn
3 Levels of Powerful & Pratical Sensory Intervention
Imagine the nervous system as an engine. To run cleanly and efficiently, it requires a perfect mix of fuel and oxygen from the primary, body-based senses (tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive).
-
Complete Combustion (When the Senses are in Sync): When the sensory system is well-regulated, a "complete combustion" occurs. Sensory input is integrated effortlessly. The result is clean energy: inner clarity, focus, capacity for learning, and a natural ability to participate in the community.
-
Incomplete Combustion (When the System Sputters): If the system is over- or under-stimulated, an "incomplete combustion" occurs. Instead of clean energy, it produces "sensory disturbance." This is the unclear perceptual filter you experience in practice as restlessness, anxiety, "brain fog," difficulty concentrating, and social challenges. The child uses all their energy just to compensate for the poor combustion.
A Toolbox with 3 Levels of Powerful Sensory Intervention
My approach gives you a practical toolbox with methods you can use in your daily work. By learning to alternate between three levels of sensory intervention, you can help the child's engine find its clean combustion again.
-
Sensory Stimuli (Direct Nourishment): This is the fundamental intervention where we consciously give the nervous system the "nourishment" it needs. These are simple, embodied inputs like deep pressure, rocking movements, or "heavy work" that immediately help to regulate and create calm.
-
Sensory Priming (The Proactive Strategy): This is the preventive intervention. You learn to "prime" the child's nervous system before a demanding situation occurs. For example, by using 5 minutes of targeted motor play before circle time, you prepare the brain to receive information and maintain focus.
-
Sensory Integration (The In-Depth Change): This is the long-term intervention. Here, we work with play and activities that invite the child to initiate adaptive responses. It is through these self-initiated, successful actions that the brain builds new, more robust neural pathways and develops lasting resilience.
The Benefits for Your Practice:
By integrating this understanding and these methods, you will experience:
-
Concrete and useful tools to manage restlessness and attention challenges.
-
A common, embodied language that strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration between teachers, educators, and PPR.
-
Methods to create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
-
A deeper understanding that a child's behavior is often a communication of an underlying sensory need.
When the 'sensory disturbance' clears and the child finds calm within themselves, space is created for social development. The child's mirror neurons get a clear and calm foundation to work from, which strengthens the ability for empathy and positive social interaction.
