Episode 92 of the Fresh Start Family Show is all about understanding sensory processing and how it can be linked to misbehavior, emotions, and learning in our children.
Pediatric occupational therapist, Jamie Chaves, takes the complex topic of sensory processing and simplifies it to help us better understand our children and families.
Jamie recognizes sensory processing as the foundation for regulation and learning.
She helps us understand that sensory preferences impact everyone’s regulatory responses and how these differences in our sensory preferences within our families can cause frustration and even disrupt relationships.
In this episode, you’ll learn great tools to better understand your childrens’ sensory profiles and how to help your kids function and thrive in their environment …
… even if they have sensory differences that affect their behaviors in some surroundings.
In a nutshell, this conversation takes the “perplexing concept of sensory processing” & breaks it down into easy to understand terms so you feel empowered (not overwhelmed)!
