Bringing Up A Child With High Sensory Needs

Every child has different sensory needs – but what happens when those needs aren’t being met? In this episode of the Learn With Less podcast, Ayelet sits down again with speech-language pathologist Carrie Clark – this time to talk about a more personal topic: her home life, and her experience raising a toddler with sensory processing disorder. Carrie and Ayelet discuss Carrie’s personal experience as a mother of a young child with high sensory needs, the ways her son’s diagnosis manifests in her family’s life (and the ways in which they are also a completely typical family!), and tips and resources that have been helpful in her navigation of the world of sensory processing disorder.

Today, I’m thrilled to bring back my friend and colleague Carrie Clark, a speech-language pathologist who is the founder and owner of the Speech and Language Kids website as well as the new SLP Solution brand. Through her websites, Carrie breaks down complex research and theory into step-by-step guides for treating a variety of communication problems. But, today, we’re going to be talking about another side of Carrie. Carrie is also the mother of two young children, one of which has sensory processing disorder. Carrie, welcome back to Learn With Less! Thanks so much.
