What is Sensory Processing Disorder and Anxiety?
How do I know if my child's tantrums are "normal" or not?
What is the process for diagnosing a child with Sensory Processing Disorder?
What are some tips inside and outside the home to help a child adapt to a world that makes them feel uncomfortable at times?
Laura, owner of Virtual Play and Life Skills, has passion for assisting families with children with special needs. Her experiences and education behind working with families and children with special needs helped her develop her company, but what she didn't anticipate was how her company would serve her own children.
Laura is going to give some really good insight on how to navigate if you feel like your child is experiencing some reactions that are similar to what she will explain. She will also give you some coping skills and ways to help navigate the day to day with major tantrums and helping your child feel comfortable and safe in their environment.
