[quote=Anonymous]OP: while you are searching, you may want to take a look at online resources (google for sensory integration games / fun / ideas).  I recall finding great ideas such as:

- putting beans into a baloon
- getting a large bin and filling up with beans and let your child play.  As the child desensitizes, you can use rice.  Start with larger sized beans first.
-  play doh (ther are many types, so you should start with the most hard and less sticky ones.  let your child "graduate" from less yukee to more yukee playdohs).
 - massage!!!!!
- vibrating toothbrush as a toy to play with.
- play with sand.  You might want to start with small stones (but hopefully they are dusty!) and then move to sand.
- run on sand (beach, clean baseball field sand).  then "graduate" to grass.

Also I noticed that some areas of the body are more sensitive.   If you aer playing with beans or sand, start rubbing those to less sensitive areas first!  Then slowly move to more sensitive areas (feet are usually more sensitive then palms, or back is more senisitive than stomach).
