Sometimes it all gets a little too much. Especially at the end of the day, when everyone comes together at the table. Incentives piled up during the day and enough had passed by, while I hadn’t quite landed from the cozy barbecue yesterday in the park, with more than 100 people. I was on my …
Traveling by public transport is not my favorite activity. Once you’re on the train or tram, it is indeed relaxed going from A to B. Lovely with a book or reading the news, maybe a cup of coffee (if I had time to go get it). But before I get that far, the necessary stress …
Working with your hands, do we still have room for that? Washing dishes, cleaning, cooking, crafts. Tasks where we can do a lot on routine, which can cause the mind to wander. A while ago I was scrubbing eighty floor tiles, one by one, front and back. This in preparation for making a large mosaic …
“Yeah, Abby. She just doesn’t seem that interested. I find it so hard to keep her focused!” Today I talk to Anne, Abby’s teacher. I regularly hear teachers make these kinds of comments. They usually know an ‘Abby’, who does not score so great and has managed to júst get promoted to the next grade. …
I fled. I am now under a hot shower, with the door closed, my head under the jet. With my hands over my ears now and then because I still hear noise. I do hope the tension will wash off of me now. Really a necessity, because I came home after a wonderful and hard …
It happened again, without my noticing. I’ve been feeling super nervous for a while now. And yes, I have an appointment with a client at a school soon. A consultation with a teacher and parent. But that’s nothing to get nervous about, because I’m looking forward to it. The observation, the conversations and the completed …
The weather is nice and many people have their doors open. Also in our courtyardyard which means you sometimes can’t help overhearing stuff… I hear a child on the other side of the courtyard going all out. Sounds like she’s véry unhappy. She’s been screaming her lungs out for about ten minutes. ‘Mamamamama’ is the …
At the moment we are busy with marketing, with the question ‘Why did we create our company, what do we want to share with the world?’ And most importantly, we would like for Sensory Processing to become more wellknown. Because how wonderful would it be if people became much more aware of their sensory processing …
The discussion is about Inge. She writes a bit sloppy, which results in scoring lower then she should, because the teacher cannot read her answers properly. Inge is in third grade and really does her best, but she is unable to write neatly. “We have already tried many different pencils and also those grippers,” says …
‘Are they arguing over there? Look at the wild pushing and pulling!’ During an observation we are sitting on a picnic bench in the schoolyard. The students in the class we are observing are all running around the playground equipment. And their actions are so intense that we think they’re fighting. However, we don’t see …
