I am the founder of Play Move Explore. As an occupational therapist, and mom to 3 very energetic young boys I have actionable sensory strategies that work. I also know firsthand that you don’t have the time or energy to add anything else to your busy life. I teach parents to explore the why behind the behaviors, and then empower them to create a sensory rich lifestyle that meets their child’s specific needs (and is also manageable for the whole family).

As an OT I’ve noticed that parents are not getting the explanation about the WHY their children are doing this, or WHY  certain activities are beneficial. On top of that they are getting generic copy/paste “sensory diets” that don’t meet their child’s specific sensory needs, and are not manageable at all because they are not customized to the family. I am on a mission to educate parents on the “why”, and to empower parents to create a toolbox of strategies that meets their child’s unique sensory needs- and not just at home! 

I know first hand how frustrating it can be when your child is labeled as “bad” or “disrespectful” or “manipulative” and your parenting is being judged by others. This has become my passion project to educate and empower parents to embrace their child’s sensory needs, and create a supportive environment and manageable, sensory rich lifestyle that meets the whole family’s needs
