This is nothing to do with food, but is a plan of activities for children and adults who have a sensory processing disorder. The plan is designed for their individual needs, and helps provide the right balance of sensory experiences throughout the day - depending on how sensitive they are to particular things in their environment. The aim is to help them feel 'right' in their environment - either calmer or more alert, depending on their needs - so that they can focus and feel comfortable.
