  • What you really need to know about sensory processing and how it could be affecting your child
  • The early signs most parents miss… And how to spot them before they become bigger issues
  • Simple, powerful tools you can use at home to help your kid feel more comfortable and focused
  • Common misconceptions about autism and sensory processing that might surprise you
  • How to support your child’s emotional regulation in ways you haven’t considered
  • Why early intervention can make all the difference, and the key focus you should start with
