We dive deep into sensory processing difficulties in neurodivergent children with Julie Davis, an occupational therapy expert with over 35 years' experience and founder of Future Steps. This conversation explores how sensory processing shapes development, influences behavior, and impacts daily functioning in ways many parents might not recognize.
• Understanding the difference between sensory processing issues and behavioral problems
• How sensory processing affects everyday activities like getting dressed, eating, and learning
• Red flags parents should watch for that might indicate sensory processing challenges
• Environmental factors that can overwhelm children with sensory sensitivities
• Why repetition and targeting the root causes create lasting improvement
• Practical approaches for parents to support their child's sensory development
• Different types of sensory challenges including tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, and auditory processing
• The importance of building neural pathways through appropriate sensory input
• Why shame and punishment are counterproductive for sensory processing issues
• Success stories of children overcoming significant sensory challenges
