Is Sensory Processing Disorder Causing Your Child's Meltdowns? Sensory Needs, Primitive Reflexes, Emotional Dysregulation in Your Homeschool //71

Are you afraid to pull your child out of school because they're receiving occupational therapy and you don't want them to lose those services? 

Do you find yourself wondering if your child's meltdowns and emotional outbursts are a behavior problem—or something deeper going on in their nervous system? 

Are you overwhelmed by sensory needs and have no idea where to even start?

In this episode, I'm joined again by Tiffany Parsons, pediatric occupational therapist, homeschool mom of twins, and micro school teacher, for a conversation that is going to change the way you think about your child's behavior AND your homeschool. We're talking about the eight senses (yes, eight!), how primitive reflexes affect emotional regulation, why your child's meltdowns aren't a discipline problem, and what OT actually looks like outside of the school system.
