Creating my own solutions for SPD

"Children with sensory integration disorder may have a hard time tolerating the tactile pressure of a seat belt, the auditory onslaught of a rumbling engine, the olfactory offense of car exhaust, the vestibular challenge of stops and starts and bumpy motion."  http://www.netplaces.com/sensory-integration-disorder/sensory-integration-in-the-community/in-the-car.htm

Kymber screams a lot of the time in the car.  I haven't figured out everything about her SPD needs but her therapist mentioned that she is needing pressure in the car to handle the motion.  She LOVES motion, but it has to be HARD and FAST.  The car is not.

I took just a back pack that was in the garage and stuffed it with some blankets.  I then took the one strap and hung it over the back of the seat that she sits behind.  She can now take her legs and press against this "squishy" bag for pressure.  It hasn't helped completely, she's still screaming at many times (but Im still looking for all the different ideas ... still not sure what to do for her to tolerate the seatbelt??? thats a BIG one).  but she does use this!
