Quick Wins (Start Here)

Gentle Rocking

Start seated (rocker, therapy ball with feet grounded). Short, predictable sets.

Balance Paths

Tape lines, stepping stones, low beams. Add visuals for start/finish.

Movement Breaks

Before transitions or after long sitting; pair with timers & visuals.

Tip: Build a routine: plan movement before it’s needed, and teach stop/slow cues.

Common Patterns

Profile	How it might look	What to try
Over‑Responsive	Dislikes swings/spinning; fears heights; motion nausea.	Slow, linear rocking; feet contact; short trials; breaks.
Under‑Responsive	Slow to notice movement; seeks stronger input to engage.	Increase intensity gradually; clear start/stop cues.
Sensory Seeking	Craves fast spinning/jumping; hard to stop.	Pre‑planned movement diet; rules; swap unsafe stims for safe tools.
Mixed	Varies by day or context.	Personalize; log responses; combine vestibular + proprioceptive.
