Making the Shift for Autistic Kids

Ep. 96 When to Desensitize vs Accommodate Sensory Needs


Listen Later

Are we expecting kids to “tough it out”… when they really need support?

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should help a child adjust to sensory challenges or adjust the environment to support them, you’re not alone.

Sensory overwhelm, meltdowns, and shutdowns aren’t random—they’re a direct response to an environment that isn’t working for a neurodivergent brain.
