2-hour, half-day, and full-day workshops available
Stephanie does an amazing job of explaining the complex topic of sensory processing in ways that all parents can understand and relate to. I now plan to create a “chill-out space” in our home for my three boys, and I found the strategies she suggested for helping kids tolerate dressing, grooming, and dining out especially helpful. Her workshop is a wealth of information for all kinds of families.

- Young children often have not yet developed language to express what they are feeling or the coping skills to deal with sensory difficulties.
