Listen now
Description
Some children make a lot of noise as they move through their day. They tend to like big movements: bear hugs, wrestling, getting messy. Others are quieter. They can sometimes be bothered by subtle things: tags, temperature, too much light. These children might retreat if their senses get overloaded. Sensory preferences fall on a spectrum. Host Jessica Rolph is accompanied by Occupational Therapist Dr. Allie Ticktin to talk about how to navigate these differences. She is the author of “Play to Progress”.
