A sensory menu has pictures of a personalized set of sensory activities the child can choose from throughout the day. Since each child with sensory sensitivities has unique preferences for movement, touch, smell, sound, oral-motor, and sight, a sensory menu allows you to put several choices for the child. Make sure to include only things that can be available any time and are portable. Examples are squishing a can of playdough or kinetic sand, blowing bubbles, chewing gum (for school-age kids), and smelling a scented candle. Show the child the menu when you notice them becoming sensitive to the environment or whenever the child asks for it. Consider keeping the materials in a sensory bin or bag you can easily carry from one place to another.
