December 11, 2025 Hello Families,
This month we’re highlighting how Ayurveda, a holistic wellness system from India, can gently support neurodiverse children alongside Speech, Occupational, Physical Therapy, IDS, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
A Holistic Perspective
Ayurveda recognizes each child’s unique mind-body makeup and offers tools that may help with:
- Sensory sensitivities
- Emotional regulation
- Focus and attention
- Sleep and digestion
Simple Daily Routines That Help
Predictable rhythms can make a big difference.
Try incorporating:
- Soothing evening wind-down rituals
- Consistent sleep/wake times
- Gentle morning stretching
- Short sensory breaks between activities
Nutrition Matters
Warm, easy-to-digest foods support calmer moods and more regulated energy.
Examples include soups, stews, khichdi, and healthy fats like ghee or avocado.
Therapies That Calm the Nervous System
Ayurvedic-inspired supports such as warm oil massage, aromatherapy, or gentle breathwork can complement your child’s therapy goals.
Our Integrative Approach
Ayurveda does not replace therapy—it enhances it.
Families often notice smoother transitions, steadier emotions, and improved regulation when these holistic practices are added to routine care.
