Understanding Sensory Processing (the "why") (Part 1 of 2)
The Early Intervention Podcast by Kelly Mason, Early Childhood Developmental Therapist and Lezli Carson, Speech Language Pathologist
Episode notes
Join us for a parent-friendly conversation about sensory processing in young children, with occupational therapist, Katie Hoelting. Katie explains how sensory behaviors can reveal what a child needs rather than just “bad behavior.” It covers the extra sensory systems beyond the five senses, how sensory differences affect routines, feeding, play, and regulation, and when families should consider getting help.
