One of our summer endeavors has been to expose the boys to different ethnic restaurants because the boys still have sensory issues. We’d love to travel to various countries, but money dictates creativity. I set the boys on a hunt: to find restaurants with different ethnic or cultural foods. The computer blazed, and we found several different places.
We “travel” to a different country every time, which saves on airline costs. HA. Most of the restaurants are family owned. We have tried to stay away from the chain restaurant, but how they enjoyed Benihana! This place was infused with entertainment. The boys loved seeing the food sizzle in front of them. The chef amazed them with tricks like flipping the bowls into his hat. Quite a show.
The different country aspect is all a part of expanding their horizons with various tastes, textures, cultures. etc. They are now not as sensitive to unfamiliar smells, sounds, tastes, etc., as they were at the beginning of summer. So this “therapy” is working! Tis amazing how thinking outside the box has helped our boys.
