Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes – Week 4: The Honeymoon’s Over
posted by admin in Reflections/Ruminations/Random ThoughtsThis week is number 4 at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. I think that the program is worth the financial sacrifice we made. My daughter’s language is changing. Her expressions are more sophisticated and she’s experimenting with new vocabulary words. She pays attention to details about her surroundings. For example, she stops to read informational signs and applies what she’s read rather than wondering lost as she did before. Also, our conversations are more interesting. She can tell me things in a more sequential and vivid manner.
My kiddo has a lot of sensory needs so she can be challenging to work with. She requires a great deal of creativity, imagination, patience, humor and structure. When she’s not thrilled about an activity, her sensory system overloads. Her focus and willingness diminish and so she does not want to cooperate with instruction.
Programming for sensory needs is hard. I understand that staff development and ongoing information is required. Strategies for helping a child work through sensory needs often involve behavior traditionally thought unacceptable during instruction. I get all of these points. Teachers are not accustomed to having a child stand up to write, roll a ball while answering questions, chew gum, and more.
I am glad that the folks at Lindamood-Bell are eager to address my child’s sensory needs. This week my daughter’s sensory diet will change. She will run during sessions and work outside. She will play an organized game during break time. She”ll move her body when her energy gets low. Thank goodness that the folks at Lindamood-Bell are committed to my daughter learning without her getting stressed out about it.

I am glad the staff is working with you and changing things up, if you don’t mind here are a few ideas, these could be indoors or out doors: volley ball with a balloon for the ball and a string for the net, soccer with a balloon for the ball and two paper cups for the goal, dancing breaks where everyone does the twist, the jerk, and any other silly dance, bowling with a nerf ball and 5 to 10 paper cups, simon says for a break and use the story for the actions, a three minute play acted out based on an important point in the story, a rock hunt outside then paint or color the rock and how about TWISTER.
