Sitting tolerance in kids with neurodevelopmental delays relies on several sensory systems:

1. **Proprioceptive System (Body Awareness):** Helps kids feel stable when sitting; improved by activities like deep pressure or carrying weights.
  
2. **Vestibular System (Balance):** Helps with balance; activities like swinging or rocking can improve comfort with sitting still.

3. **Tactile System (Touch):** Some kids may be sensitive to textures, so ensuring comfortable seating and clothing is key.

4. **Auditory and Visual:** Sensitivity to sounds and sights can impact focus.

Occupational therapists use sensory activities to improve these areas, which helps kids sit longer with better focus.
