Sensory Diet Assignment
I attached 2 documents. One is the case where you have to answer all the questions and the other is a guide to help in the case.
It is necessary to mention and explain all the affected sensory areas and create a detailed schedule for the patient (This type of treatment has nothing to do with food. A sensory diet is a tailored plan of physical activities and accommodations designed to meet a child’s sensory needs) Sensory Diet Assignment

Sensory Diet
Body is a 10 year-old male child. He attends school near his home. His grandmother brings him to school every day. Body has never received any type of therapy prior to today as he was living in another country and ‘home schooled’. His grandmother reports her grandson was having a hard time making friends and was very bright, but his teacher did not know how to work with a child who was bright. It is noted that Body does not utilize utensils during feeding, but eats with his fingers and has only finger foods in his lunch box. Also Body has trouble holding a pencil during classroom work and prefers to write with a large crayon. He insists that the crayon is the only thing he can use. He also has an adversion to hot and cold food. He prefers only room temperature foods and drinks. He also prefers to wear a “favorite sweater” every day. He likes how it feels. During the observation the Occupational Therapist noted that Body was not able to complete his classroom work. He also had trouble with sitting quietly in the chair. He often wanted to tap his feet and was disruptive to the classroom. He could not attend to the teacher providing instructions. During reading you noticed that Body held the book out in front of him instead of having the book sit on the desk in front of him. He also seemed to read the same paragraph several times. Socially, Body does interact with the other children and seems to want to sit very close to them, or play rough with them.
