Swinging, spinning, and jumping can be incredible tools for regulation, but they can also lead to overstimulation if we’re not careful. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to safely use vestibular input (aka movement) to support sensory regulation without causing meltdowns or motion sickness.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What the vestibular system is and why it’s so important
The difference between seekers, avoiders, and under-responders
Signs of vestibular overload and what to look for
How to safely build up tolerance to spinning, swinging, and movement
Tips for balancing vestibular input with proprioception for regulation
Thanks for listening 🩷
