Sensory Diet, By Patricia Wilbarger

Sensory therapy uses everyday objects to arouse one or more of the five-senses (hearing, smell, taste, and touch) in order to evoke positive outcomes of feelings (Gilbert, 2001). The use of sensory stimulation can improve an

Over the upcoming few weeks, I will be conducting research on the effectiveness of the PBIS program within our school. The following paragraphs will describe how I envision the study will take place, who will participate and where, as well as how data will be collected and analyzed. My chosen research method, as well as the appropriateness of the chosen method will also be discussed.

The participating students were observed for a period of two days. It took place during reading class. The observation had to be during the beginning of class until

We may not like loud noises, so we avoid crowds and clubs, or have textures issues, so we avoid slimy or squishy food, all without therapy. Our flight, fight, or freeze responses are our defense system again the unknown, but sensory processing treatment work on changing that response. With all of materials I compiled, I am in agreement that sensory processing disorder is the next “it” diagnosis for children. I do believe that children with Autism, ADHD, ADD, and Down Syndrome struggle with processing sensory information. However, there is no proof that sensory processing difficulties are not a byproduct or syndrome of the disability. More research is necessary in order to determine how and why sensory processing occurs and affects daily life. The goal for all educators is to provide students with the best education

I am currently teaching second grade in an urban charter school in Cleveland, Ohio. My classroom has twenty-three students, twelve boys and eleven girls. There is one student in my classroom who receives special education services and four students receiving Title 1 interventions. My students are extremely social which leads to the use of small group and partner learning. The socialization has lead to some struggles with behavior and student independence this year.

From reading all five articles, the one I would have to agree with the most would be, “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins in the Home,” by Daniel Weintraub. Weintraub stated that if we are looking for someone to blame about our child obesity rate increasing in extreme amounts and our exercising rate decreasing, we should blame the guardians of the kids. To be more specific, if you have obese children, stop blaming them about their problem. Start to blame yourself. You are the cause to their problem by not teaching them that eating healthy is super important.

I had chosen the book Eating Mindfully (Second Edition), by Susan Albers. Albers is a US-based psychologist who not only specializes in mindful eating, but also, eating issues, weight loss, and body image concerns. On top of creating these books Albers organizes mindful eating workshops across the country and internationally to assist people from all over the world.

2. What data and method does the author use to evaluate this intervention? Why was that data and method used?

Michael Pollan’s in defense of In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto details the problems with the Western diet and nutritionism that are supported by evidence in the form of research, experiments, and even historical information. Pollan even makes the books easy to read for those that do not have any knowledge in science by explaining how macromolecules work people have a general idea. Additionally, he keeps the reader engaged by adding a little bit of humor whenever he gets the chance. However, Pollan has been a journalist, which could possibly add some bias in his book as members of the media tends to hyperbolize many facts. Yet, Pollan does his best to avoid this by quoting studies and presenting evidence not only from science, but also

In the article, “The Paleo Diet” by Loren Cordain, the author talks about America’s fascination with diet fads, telling readers about their widespread appeal as a “fix-all” for America’s health problems and obesity. I have to admit, like a lot of people, I am a bandwagon jumper. Whether this new fad be a new fashion trend or a new video game sensation, chances are that I’ve tried it. And new diet fads are no exception for me.

This chapter reviews research collected that is related to the phenomenon of sensory processing disorder. The growing number of sensory processing deficits reported, as well as the frequency in which therapists use sensory based interventions requires a more complete understanding of the intricacies of evidence supporting the use of sensory based interventions. Each of the six studies reviewed in this chapter varies in rigor, design, and construct definition thus producing mixed results. The information is a microcosm of the current landscape of research related to sensory processing disorder.

The third instrument that I will use will be student summative assessment data in relation to how effective students transition from one level to the next with and without built in intervention to the SRA program all the way through to grade level reading.

Four year olds are still very much learning through the use of their senses (Blaustein, 2005). As well, some children may have special needs concerning sensory processing and integration (Ayers, 1994). Children with sensory processing disorders range from over-responsive, under-responsive, to sensory craving (Ayers, 1994). Nonetheless, every person encounters a plethora of sensory stimuli each day and must take in information and integrate it with prior knowledge to make meaningful responses (Ayers, 1994). Multisensory centers provide young children with and without special needs with the opportunity to seek out sensory stimulation, acquire sensory integration and motor skills, learn coping skills, and understand basic scientific concepts (Blaustein, 2005).
