I somehow found The OT Butterfly in my endless search for understanding of the sensory needs of my children and myself. It’s given me a clearer picture of how to support us all and have grace for each of us. I really liked her episodes about the Nervous System Cash System and her interview of...Read full review »

Just listened to the episode that was a Q&A with Liliana. So so sweet. I love hearing her little voice and listening to how she answers the questions. I’m going to listen to it again when my son “just happens to be” within earshot. I think it will be nice for him to hear from a kid almost the...Read full review »

I’m an OT who works in the public school setting AND I have an almost 3 year old with tactile sensitivity and anxieties that I believe have stemmed from that. I completely related to her story and her life with Liliana. Even as an OT myself I have learned so much from listening to this podcast....Read full review »

I love listening to Laura. After a long time following her on IG I finally got around to listening to her podcast and I love how much more in depth information I can soak up from her. She talks about real relatable parenting when dealing with neurodivergence, anxiety, etc. and it’s so refreshing...Read full review »

It is not the label, but how the label is used that is the issue. How it is used, by whom, for what reason, to what effect. The fact that you don’t understand that, to me, suggests that your neurodivergent child has yet to face discrimination, shunning due to the social stigma of specific...Read full review »

The host does an incredible job of exploring complex topics and somehow leaving the listener with tangible strategies and a feeling of not being alone. One of my top ten!

Laura is so incredibly knowledgeable and has such a wealth of information shared on the podcast with wonderful guests.

Laura has helped me see my autistic SPD son’s behavior through a sensory lens, and it’s made all the difference. Because I have a better understanding of how sensory stimuli affect his brain, I can anticipate and preempt sensory overload with the strategies I learned from Laura. Excellent podcast!!

Our daughter was recently evaluated and we found out she has SPD. When your child is struggling, it’s just really heart wrenching. I had no idea what type of resources I needed or where to even start. I happened across OTButterfly and wow. I love her Instagram stories and this podcast is awesome....Read full review »

I am on the first few episodes and i feel like she knowns every feeling i have gone through as a parent on ND kid. I feel lighter after listening to some of her unscripted episodes.

The best podcast on sensory processing. It is evident that she puts great thought into this podcast. Every word that she says is planned, purposeful, clear for the sensory newbie, and packs tons of meaning. I highly recommend it.
SporteeTP via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/14/22
Laura’s podcast, Instagram account, and Sensory W.I.S.E. Solutions Podcast for Parents have been so helpful to our family. Even though we have done OT, I continue to learn about my child, and her needs as she grows and evolves. This podcast always helps me look at things that with a different and...Read full review »

I’ve been following Laura on instagram for awhile now and love her content so this podcast is no different. The content is real and extremely relatable. She has such a unique perspective because of her OT background and being a mom of as well - it’s refreshing. 💜

OT Butterfly is such a great resource. So much valuable information given from such an honest, realistic perspective.
nnylloh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/22
I have been following Laura’s Insta page since March 2020 and the peace in our family has increased so much from her knowledge as an OT and willingness to share her life with a ND kid. This podcast has been a big part of that, I especially appreciate her episodes with other people in the field,...Read full review »

In tears after how helpful this last podcast was. I wish I had this years ago when my daughter was having frequent meltdowns. Thank you for this. Helpful beyond words to know I’m not alone.
RachaelMiller0517 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/22
I’ve only listened to one episode (39 about clothing), but it has already been so helpful!
EllieBellie098 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/22
I first found Laura on instagram a couple nights ago, mindlessly scrolling after bedtime. I devoured all her content in hours. Now, going through her podcast episodes, I feel like someone finally gets me and is saying it out loud. Every word is incredibly relatable. Laura, please come over for...Read full review »

I have a 2 year old daughter with sensory processing challenges (specifically tactile) that have made feeding an overwhelming challenge since birth. Listening to Laura feels like having the chance to talk to someone who literally understands what you have been through. I love that the episodes...Read full review »

She is so to the point! She loves to talk professionally and with the warmth of a mum!
Spanag8305 via Apple Podcasts · Greece · 12/27/21
Great podcast. A must listen for all parents on finding out if your child’s behaviour is due to sensory sensitivities and how to help them regulate their emotions. Laura’s knowledge, honesty and personal experiences are helping us immensely with our daughter, and myself.
piantagrano via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/21/21
I’ve loved Laura’s instagram for awhile, but this podcast is exactly what I needed. It’s very validating to hear someone else name what you’re feeling. If you haven’t lived it, it can be hard to explain the very specific kind of anxiety that comes with parenting a neurodivergent child. And it can...Read full review »

These quick episodes are becoming something I look forward to every week. Not only are they so validating and relatable, but they are so helpful and practical with my neuro-divergent kiddo. I'v actually cried while listening to some because she just "gets" me.Read full review »

I am an OT with a child that is a sensory seeker. My husband struggles to understand it all and I was happy to find this podcast
Clareokol via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/21
Within the last month, as my son as started preschool and been around others more (thanks pandemic!) I’ve really wondered if he had SPD and how I move forward. How would I help him? What’s my role? Who do I even talk to? This podcast has been helpful, even in just the 6 episodes that are...Read full review »

This was excellent information about so many things. Very helpful on the approaches/routes to go for getting help. We think my 3yo gs has the opposite of your daughter. If it’s too quiet in his quiet playtime activities at school, he will create a disturbance for sound and movement to go on. He’s...Read full review »

I have been following Laura on IG for a while and her content has saved me in so many ways. Laura’s story as a mom to a sensory sensitive child might as well be my story.
