Olfactory, Gustatory, Visual, Auditory and Tactile Sensory Culture
We Are OGVATS People, We Do Things To Live
We are the O.G.V.A.T.S. Culture Movement, and we promote healthy stimming and sensory strategies. The O.G.V.A.T.S. Culture Movement advocates for all Olfactory, Gustatory, Visual, Auditory, and Tactile Sensory coping strategies. These strategies help people live in their bodies without compromises, regulate their emotions, and maintain their identity. This initiative was born to promote, defend, and normalize stimming and sensory coping strategies in everyday life.
