Sensory processing can be complicated to understand. Over or under sensitivities to sensory information can make this world a challenging place for some.  

I'm so pleased to introduce "Oinklet" ... a short film about sensory processing disorder directed by Vian Al-Baiati to you.  This film is a sweet depiction of friendship and a few simple ways to help someone who is over sensensitive to touch, light and sound. 

Thank you Vian for sharing this with Your Kids OT readers!

Happy Occupational Therapy Month!

My name is Vian and I’m honored to a write a guest blog post about my recent short film. For the past few months, I've been working with an animator to produce a short film about Sensory Processing Disorder to promote awareness and acceptance. I realized that there are so many wonderful and informative blogs about SPD, but there aren’t many movies or animations about it. Therefore, I wanted to produce a cost free film that could be understood by anyone around the world despite any language or financial barriers to spread SPD awareness. I started writing the script late December of 2018 and then I was able to hire an animator early January of 2019. After writing 5-6 pages detailed script, the animator and I communicated on a daily basis for four months to design a 2D animation that will allow audiences to understand that children with SPD have difficulties with organizing and responding to information that comes in through the senses. The brain’s response will enter fight, flight, or freeze as a protective response which explains the reason for the children’s reaction to certain sensory stimuli.

This short film features a protagonist pig named Oinklet, and his journey with Sensory Processing Disorder. Oinklet is a bright boy, but his sensory challenges and his reactions to certain sensory situations are often misunderstood by others. The film displays Oinklet as oversensitive to touch, light, and sound while he's undersensitive to our sixth and seventh senses (vestibular and properioception).
​
Oinklet's brain has difficulty organizing and responding to information from the senses which causes a neurological traffic jam. Oinklet's mom finally understands his behavior after she meets another mom with an SPD girl at a birthday party. Hopper (a bunny) becomes close to Oinklet and tries to accommodate his sensory needs to facilitate participation in everyday life activities.
