We’ve talked about Jacob’s behaviors at school and some classroom supports, but his parents were just as desperate for ideas to make home life a little less chaotic. They shared these challenges:
Struggles to get out the door on time in the mornings
Big meltdowns when told “no” (like...

Let’s jump right back into Jacob’s story.[Start at part 1 here, or catch up on part 2 here]
Jacob’s parents were eager to try anything that might decrease his aggressive behaviors at his co-op preschool. Based on what we knew (that he seeks...
Welcome to part 2 of Jacob’s story, you can check out part 1 [here].
Jacob’s parents were doing their best to keep up with his big sensory cup and constant need for movement, but there also seemed to be big emotions tied up in that cup.
While some kids mask at school and save their meltd...
At the fresh age of 3, Jacob already knew exactly what he wanted out of each day: get as muddy as possible, jump from the tallest tree he could find, be the loudest kid in the room aaannnndddd keep his parents and teachers on their toes—because life would be boring otherwise, right?

Toward the end of my work with Henry and his family, his mom brought up one last piece of the puzzle: fine motor challenges.
This wasn’t their top concern; she understood that fine motor skills take time to develop. But she wanted to know if there were games or activities they could try to hel...

Common morning transitions:
Getting out of bed

I worked with Henry and his parents over a series of 4 calls. The main goal of our work together was to create a set of accommodations and sensory strategies that would help them all have smoother evenings and weekends, which were the times when Henry seemed to be the most dysregulated.

We’re in the final part of Mina’s story and today we’re talking about expecting, managing and supporting dysregulation when traveling.
Whether it’s something as small as going to the aquarium for the day or taking a trip to visit grandparents in another state—traveling and going to fun place...
If you’re just joining us, here’s a mini review of Mina, our case study for this month.
Mina is 3 years old and does great when she’s in control and everything in her environment and days are scheduled and run exactly how she likes it. Easy peasy, right? 😅

Today we’re going to talk about morning routines in part 2 of Mina’s story.
[Click here to go back and catch up on part 1]
Mina’s mornings often start with frustration, sensory overwhelm, and a pile of clothes that didn’t feel “perfect,” a scene that I am all too familiar with.
For Mina’s...
When Mina’s parents first reached out to me, they weren’t in crisis mode, but they were definitely carrying the weight of months (maybe years) of trying to “figure it out” on their own. I know firsthand how jolting it can feel when you look up one day and realize you’ve been in survival mode f...
