The reason that sensory and organic intelligence pair so well is because children are naturally drawn to auto regulation through their work with the sensory equipment. By having access to sensory tools kids are innately drawn to what is self organizing, organically utilizing tools that are wholesome non-addictive and simple pleasures, at a level of intensity that enables ease and self modulation.
If you want more information on the use of Organic Intelligence, you can hear it through the words of its founder, Steve Hoskinson.
Below is a video where he describes the founding principles of this work. The main mantra of the Organic Intelligence is “the job is enjoyment”, versus the popularly held belief in therapy that “you have to feel worse to feel better”.
Steven Hoskinson is the Founder and CCO (Chief Compassion Officer) of Organic Intelligence® (OI) and the nonprofit Organic Intelli
