What'd you think of the episode? Send me a note!
In this episode, I break down the basics of sensory processing in a step by step, easy to understand way. Learn how each of the 8 sensory inputs travel through our bodies, how the brain triggers a response and how that manifests in our behaviors. With this information, you’re ready to start tackling those behaviors from a more sensory informed lens!
You’ll learn:
- The 5-step process of how sensory information is processed and integrated
- How sensory processing happens automatically and constantly in the background to allow us to function
- Why familiar routines and environments require less brain energy than new situations
- What happens when our basic needs are not met
