Sensory and Autism Basics
When your child has sensory issues and/or autism, there’s so much to know! The words from you child’s teacher, doctor, or occupational therapist just sound like a jumble of guck you can’t understand. How are you supposed to make sense of it all?
This page compiles all of my articles about everything big and small relating to autism and sensory processing disorder. Is there a topic that isn’t here yet that you’d like to see? Let me know by sending me an email at contact [at] thesensorytoolbox [dot] com.
