Welcome to SticKids™
SticKids™ is an interactive software program developed by Meryle Lehn, a Canadian occupational therapist with SIPT (Sensory Integration & Praxis Test) certification. It is an easy-to-use program where parents, teachers and therapists can structure activities to help children maintain a "just right" level of alertness, to be able to concentrate and attend to tasks at home and school.
The program is based around a simple diagram called a "crittermeter" which has six colour segments and three icons, which indicate the level of arousal or the "speed" that kids are.
Who Can This Program Help?
SticKids™ is designed to help support most children. Children may struggle with concentration and attention, mild sensory sensitivies, or more complex sensory integration and sensory processing needs.
It has helped numerous children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADD, ADHD as well as children who simply struggle to concentrate.
Children with these challenges can have highly tuned, or atypical processing of sensory information from external factors such as touch, vision, smell, taste and sound; as well as the internal senses of muscle and joints, motion, balance and touch registration.
A typical processing may show as:
- Either excessive seeking or avoiding of sensory input in daily events;
- Emotional sensitivity, meltdowns, or need for retreat;
- Difficulty with focus, arousal, and self-regulation to everyday tasks;
- Reduced quality in motor response (involving coordination, balance, tone, planning or sequencing), as the motor skill may have been based on
misinterpretation of sensory information.
