A Sensory Breakdown For Everyone
n this episode of The Grow Together Podcast, Kate dives into the fascinating world of sensory processing and explains how understanding your child's sensory system can be a game-changer. From visual, auditory, and tactile senses to interoception—the internal signals that guide our feelings and physiological needs—this episode provides a comprehensive overview of how each sense influences behavior, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.
Kate shares practical examples, including a case study of a child who seeks more proprioceptive input during nap time, illustrating how sensory strategies like weighted blankets or active engagement can help regulate behavior and foster better self-control.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or therapist, you'll learn how to recognize sensory cues and use this knowledge to create a calmer, more responsive environment. Discover how occupational therapists utilize sensory insights to empower individuals to live their best lives.
Key Takeaways:
- The eight sensory systems (visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, olfactory, gustatory, and interoception) and their role in daily life
- How sensory processing impacts behavior, emotional regulation, and learning
- Practical strategies to support sensory regulation in children
