• Prenatal insults can negatively impact development
• Neglect in the earliest years has long term effects
• Trauma sensitizes the stress response systems in the brain
• Early trauma often creates
–developmental inconsistency
–behavioral and regulation challenges
–sensory issues
–lack of executive functioning skills
Our work as parents of children with maltreatment or caregiving disruption histories is to build the connections (attachment) and skills that mitigate trauma.
Joining children in their world of play, focusing on connection and confidence, giggling and roughhousing, and following your child's lead.
-Lawrence J Cohen, Ph.D.

Benefits of Sensory Play
Somatic Play
Physical play promotes bottom up regulation.
Both short-term and long-term studies support the clinical benefits of physical activity for individuals with ADHD. Cognitive, behavioral and physical symptoms of ADHD were alleviated in most instances.

Rhythmic Play
“Patterned, repetitive, rhythmic somatosensory activity… elicits a sensation of safety. Rhythm is regulating.”
-Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D.
“…trauma-inducing experiences leave people highly sensitized to perceptions of threat. Often this sensitivity relates to the way in which the trauma has impacted the primal areas of the brain that react subconsciously to ensure survival. When these areas become dysregulated they subsequently impact higher order brain functioning and further limit the effectiveness of cognitive interventions. These areas, the brainstem and diencephalon, have been shown to respond positively to rhythmic input.
