On today’s episode, I interviewed Kelsie, who goes by The Occuplaytional Therapist online, where she writes about everything from space-themed activities to sensory processing. She shares insights from a school-based professional perspective about IEPs, child development, and working with kids with disabilities, as well as a more personal perspective as a mom herself, and all focused on the importance of learning through play.
In this episode, we talk about sensory processing and some of what kids who have sensory processing challenges go through, how we as parents can support them, and how we can also support ourselves while we’re having sensory challenges of our own.
I want to apologize in advance for some technical glitches in this interview. But in my opinion, they are minor and don’t detract from this really interesting conversation I had with Kelsie, who is a such a brilliant, insightful and generous human being.
