Together, they break down what sensory integration means, explore the differences between sensory processing and dysregulation, and examine their impact on children’s behavior. Erika offers valuable insights on distinguishing between sensory-driven behaviors and simple choices, discusses the importance of understanding typical child development, and shares practical strategies to support children with sensory differences. The episode also highlights the importance of collaboration between occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists in addressing sensory needs and fostering effective communication.
