What Are Sensory Strategies and Why Are They SO Helpful for ADHD?
✦
Your body holds a key to focus, calm, and emotional regulation — most of us just never learned how to use it.
As a pediatric OT, I used sensory strategies every single day. They helped the kids I worked with to focus, calm their bodies, and get through the demands of a school day.
When I moved into coaching adults with ADHD, I brought those same tools with me. Why? Because they were helping me, too.
Here's the thing: these methods aren't just for kids. They work for anyone who struggles with energy, attention, or managing emotions — and they're especially powerful for those of us with ADHD, since this is exactly where we tend to get stuck.
You Already use sensory strategies
You Just Don't Know It.
- Do you bite your nails or pace when you're stressed or nervous?
- Crave crunchy foods after a stressful day?
- Doodle to stay focused?
- Bounce your leg or tip back in your chair during a lecture?
Maybe you've even been told to stop?
Stop fidgeting. Stop doodling. But these aren't just random habits, they serve a purpose. They're your wise body's way of helping you regulate, focus, and cope!

The stereotype of "endless energy" rarely fits the adults I work with and definitely didn't fit me! We have active brains which can lead to real energy dips. Sensory strategies can help you get energized when you're running low... goodbye, 3pm slump!
Whether you're running low or high, sensory strategies can help you find just right!
