Hello
May I know more about the sensory challenges of your child? Does he have visual seeking or vestibular seeking?

[@antimakumari8903]

@therapywithdrprabhjot ma'am he is a visual seeker
He rotate or spin any round object and starts shaking

[@therapywithdrprabhjot]

@antimakumari8903 try to convert this into an activity like tilting head to make a rainbow or colour in it likr an arc so his behaviour is directed functionally.
Similarly, a pouring activity can be used whete he tilts his head to pour blocks, grains, sand etc.
This makes his activity purposeful and redirects his behaviour to play.

[@antimakumari8903]

@therapywithdrprabhjot ma'am we try to keep him busy but he shows no interest in activities
