www.ChildrenandNature.org - Being in nature or around natural elements is very calming and regulating. When kids can run around in the woods or splash in water or even just play in the mud, it helps their bodies settle down. You can also bring in more natural elements in the home with houseplants (even fake plants!), a tabletop fountain, photos of the ocean, etc. During sessions, I often play videos of waterfalls which help students be more calm and focused, so it can even be virtual.
DC PEERS - Neurodivergent-focused social groups and workshops with free and low-cost options.
