Understanding Your Child's Sensory Needs
Join us to learn how sensory needs impact children’s emotions, behavior, and focus. This session will help parents recognize sensory seeking and sensory avoiding behaviors and introduce practical tools that support children in regulating their bodies and managing big feelings at home.
In This Session, We’ll Discuss:
• How sensory needs affect behavior and emotional regulation
• Sensory seeking vs. sensory avoiding behaviors
• What a “sensory bucket” and sensory diet are
• Simple sensory tools and calming activities for home
• When occupational therapy support may be helpful
