Today we’ll be exploring the importance of sensory play for autistic children and how it can help them regulate, explore, and learn. We’ll chat about how sensory differences—whether sensory seeking or sensory defensive—impact play and how we can create sensory bins that meet each child’s unique needs while fostering comfort and engagement.
