  • Love the sensory processing episode

    I just listened to the episode about Sensory processing differences with the OT butterfly! So much of it resonated with my two kids. They both have different sensory needs and hearing some examples made me more aware of those. So helpful to know when to seek more support and what strategies to use at home prior to this. Thanks for having another awesome guest on!
