Solving Sensory Overload: From Bath Time Tears to After School Meltdowns |Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L

Pediatric occupational therapist Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L shares how parents can build their ‘sensory smarts’ and identify our children’s sensory needs. We’re talking about self-regulation, early signs of sensory processing differences, why we should all get dancing in the kitchen, and how to get through hairwashing with fewer tears. We also talk about creative ways to help our kids release all that pent up energy. Wanna go for a monster walk, anyone? (We'll explain).
