What looks like a kid being bad may be sensory needs, and you can help!
Do You Ever See Kids That…
Aren't like the other kids?
Something is a little different and you see them struggling to “fit in”.
Have big emotions and meltdown at the drop of a dime?
Parents and teachers look to use for do-able solutions.’
Is wild, active, and never stops?
The classic sensory seeker that has been tragically mislabeled.
Are treated unfairly because of their "behaviors"?
And it’s hard to watch!
Is very sensitive to textures, lights, sounds, and/or movement.
It’s hard to break down sensitivities with 1 session a week.
If you answered yes to any of the above, then it’s a sure bet kids on your caseload have sensory processing needs.
Sensory is often the hidden reason kids are labeled as bad, weird, quirky, hyper, or sensitive…
Likely, you’ll be the first person to tell many parents about sensory processing. It’s critical and elevates your treatment when you’re able to educate parents about sensory in a way they can understand and follow through on. It is the absolute foundation of a child’s development. It affects every and all aspects of a child’s life.
That’s why when a child’s sensory processing isn’t working well, it can cause kids a lot of stress, frustration, or missed opportunities from participating fully in their childhood.
As a result kids can specifically struggle with any of the following:
Learning
Paying attention
Following directions
Sitting still
Overly sensitive to
smells
Playing
Socializing
Communicating
Staying alert and being
tired, even though they
slept enough
Constantly seeking out
movement by running,
climbing, and crashing
And, that’s just to name a few. Unfortunately, since most people don’t know about sensory processing, kids with sensory processing difficulties get labeled as bad, weird, quirky, hyper, or sensitive.
But, that’s not the whole picture, not even close.
You can change everything for a child.
But, when you know that a child’s brain isn’t processing sensations well, that it’s all because of their sensory processing, you can understand AND help the child and parents actually improve any sensory issues they have.
YOU can improve sensory needs with Sensory Integration Strategies!!!
It’s true. Sensory strategies are specific tools and techniques that do two things:
Sensory strategies help your child manage their sensory issues so that they can cope, adjust, and participate in the various activities of their life.
Sensory Integration strategies, when used well, actually can rewire the brain to improve sensory processing which improves overall regulation baseline AND decrease sensory needs.
Sensory strategies are the missing solution, unless they’re used wrong…
Many people use sensory strategies the wrong way, even though that’s not their intention. They’re often trying to DIY sensory strategies from an influencer or what they heard from a friend. The problem with that is sensory needs and the strategies that work are unique to each child.
Because kids have so many different sensory issues, the wrong sensory strategy for a child could actually make their sensory processing worse (gasp!) or be a total waste of time.
I know you don’t want that, especially as a therapist.
Knowing sensory strategies isn’t enough. Knowing how and when to use them is what makes the difference.
That work began here in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA where I served hundreds of families, and then expanded to thousands around the world through the Your Kid’s Table blog and the RISE with Sensory program.

If you work with kids.
It doesn’t matter if a child’s sensory issues are big or specific. It doesn’t matter if your child is 2 or 10.

Sensory processing difficulties affect a wide range of kids, and this program will show you how to hone in a child’s unique needs and work through them simply, step-by-step.

What Happens If You Don’t Learn How to Use Sensory Strategies Well?
Unfortunately, I see this happen all the time. Parents tell me all the time that they went to an OT that didn’t know about sensory processing. Or, their kid was having major sensory challenges and all they focused on was their fine motor goals.
Even if sensory integration isn’t a goal (it often isn’t) it is 100% a best practice to use it as a prepatory activity so that a child is regulated and can perform the fine motor activities to the best of their ability.
If you aren’t an OT, but another professional working with kids, you will elevate your quality of practice by being able to appropriately regulate kids for your session while treating the whole child. Talk about best practice. And, think of the impact you’ll have for the family when you can share strategies and resources easily.
Whether you don’t know much about sensory processing or a season therapist this program will teach you a system you can use immediately in treatment AND easily turn around to teach to parents in a simple way. Having sensory not be mind bending and do-able. It’s kinda my thing. You’ll see when you get inside RISE with Sensory.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the 6-week guided cohort, and why should I join RISE now?
RISE is a complete, self-paced training, and you’ll get immediate access to the entire course as soon as you enroll.
But during this special enrollment, I’m also going through RISE with you for 6 weeks beginning October 5th.
You’ll have access to a private therapist-only community where I’ll guide you through the training, answer questions, and help you apply what you’re learning. I’ll also share weekly clinical case spotlights and a brand-new training focused specifically on using sensory strategies in the school setting.
You don’t have to wait until October 5th to start RISE and you don’t have to keep pace with the group. The cohort is simply an extra layer of support, clinical application, and accountability that isn’t normally part of RISE.
Enrollment closes October 1st, so if you want to go through RISE with me and the other therapists joining us this fall, this is the time to get in.
