The best kind of Sensory Input for your Seeker

I spent 2 weeks getting my son ready and prepared for our trip to the beach. I was concerned that his sensory aversions would keep us him from enjoying the beach. I had not anticipated that it would actually be very therapeutic for him. I prepared him well for the sand and I’m glad I did. But he spent most of his time in the water. The waves were a little bit rough and he loved feeling them crash against him, and the sound of the waves were very calming for him.  I have to say he was very well behaved, and I owe it all to the therapeutic power of the beach.
