Sensory consulting

30


30 per session - Virtual OK - Posted May 01, 2017

I will help you create a sensory experience for yourself or your child. My son is a huge sensory seeker, and I've spent the last 5+ years with him on occupational therapy. I'm good at finding alternative ways to meet his sensory needs that don't harm him or our belongings. I'll share my best tips and tricks with you. This could involve: How to build a sensory bin, how to make slime, how to meet needs for "messy wet" play without destroying your furniture, how to redirect harmful stims and meet those needs (it's a need, not a behavior) in safer ways, etc etc etc. I'm great at brainstorming things that will work for you or your child. While I will not ship you physical items, I will help provide instruction on how to get them for yourself, and troubleshoot any difficulties that you may have.

Training & Qualifications


I'm not a therapist, just an autistic mom of an autistic child who is pro-neurodiversity and loves making sensory skills work for you, not against you.

Availability & Preferences


I'm free to chat here via messages, or during the day while my son is at school via phone or video conferencing.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Melanie Davidson

I like to make preserves (mostly jams and pickles) and crochet (mostly accessories). I nerd out over anime, videogames, and various geeky fandoms.

I am a parent to an autistic 7 year old and have experience navigating the medical/government/school disability arenas as a parent. I am working towards an accounting degree and have training in computerized bookkeeping and individual income tax prep. I have a couple of mental health diagnoses and am happy to help others as a listening ear or to share my experiences.show more
