  • Incredibly helpful!

    This podcast has helped me and open my eyes to the sensory world, understanding the needs of my child and even my own. I love the way Laura explains everything, so easy to understand. I also learned how to get my child properly assessed when no other health professionals would point me in the right direction.

  • The help I needed

    I somehow found The OT Butterfly in my endless search for understanding of the sensory needs of my children and myself. It’s given me a clearer picture of how to support us all and have grace for each of us. I really liked her episodes about the Nervous System Cash System and her interview of Paige from YouTube. I could say more but I need to spend another nervous system dollar (or more like $5) doing the dishes 🤪

    Thank you for the great content!
