Listen Later

In today’s show Nicole and Katja welcome guest Nikki Smit, (She/Her) Neurodivergent OT and founder of Project Play. This episode starts with talking about what occupational therapy is and how it can help autistic kids. Nikki then dives into what the term “regulation” really means, and what is doesn’t mean. Nikki also discusses the importance of accommodating autistic students through practices of dysregulation awareness, understanding the sensory systems for regulation, respecting all forms of communication, and treating autistic kids with respect and value.
