In this week’s mini-pod, we’re diving into some of the most common misconceptions about Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and how they can impact children at home and in educational settings. If you’re a parent, caregiver, or educator, this episode will help deepen your understanding and provide practical steps to better support children with sensory needs.

Key topics covered:

- Debunking Myths About SPD: Why sensory struggles aren’t always about movement, noise sensitivity, or touch-seeking.

- The Danger of Misinformation: How limited knowledge and training can lead to harmful assumptions.

- Understanding the Signs: Why children with SPD may not always show the same behaviours, and what to look for instead.

- Supporting Children in Educational Settings: How collaboration between parents and educators can create consistency and improve outcomes.

- Meltdown Prevention Over Crisis Management: Why the focus should be on proactive support rather than reactive discipline.
