Is navigating your child's emotional ups and downs challenging?  Have they been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder, or general developmental delay?  They may benefit from a sensory diet.  Despite the name, a sensory diet has nothing to do with eating, but instead is a personalized plan that addresses each child's sensory needs in order to balance the body and promote self-regulation.

Parents are invited to this free educational session to learn more about sensory diets and how they can help children with sensory issues thrive.

Learn More About:

• Sensory diets and their role in using sensory input to guide adaptive responses and target sensory needs.
  
  
• How to manage dysregulation at home and within the community.
  
  
• Customizing routines to duel the central nervous system and optimize performance with daily tasks.
