Blowing raspberries.


Having support staff that care about her and spend quality time with her doing things she likes (e.g. playing music, reading books).

Her personal space not being invaded when playing with her beads. May happen at other times as well.

Having her head rubbed.

Having her shoulders and back massaged.

Likes to feel different types of textures (e.g. upholstery, corduroy, tables).
