We ALL have a sensory profile. As adults, most of us have developed an “owner’s manual” to cope with sensory likes and dislikes. Our children may not yet understand their sensations or emotions, be able to communicate their likes and dislikes, and have little control over their environments (adults set the schedule, menu, clothes, temperature). Helping our children be calm, attentive, and flexible requires bottom-up body strategies (e.g. sleep, nutrition, sensory input), as well as top-down brain strategies (communication, organization)... and good detective work! Come learn how to better understand your child, and strategies to set-up for sensory-success!
