The Top 5 Questions on Sensory Issues and Autism

Dr. Mary Barbera discusses the top 5 questions on sensory issues and autism.

Today, I am joined by Kelsey with the top 5 questions on sensory challenges faced by children with autism and toddlers displaying sensory issues. In this video, we cover questions frequently asked within the online community, shedding light on the complex world of sensory processing differences. We talk about the spectrum of sensory experiences and how they vary, from sensory avoidance to sensory seeking behaviors.

We also cover the intersection of sensory issues and problem behaviors, understanding when to consider a sensory issue as a potential cause and how to address it effectively, as well as sensory interventions, prevention techniques, and the importance of collaborative efforts between professionals, parents, and caregivers.

We did a weighted vest and our son got fatigued each time-now he has a compression shirt which looks like an undershirt and it’s night and day! Thanks for your content!

My big question, because less of professionals are talking is 'From where this Autism is coming if is not genetic inheritance?'

Many thanks❤

Hi Mary how do I help with my 6yrs old always holding on to stuff in his hand and he’s not trying to help himself while holding to stuff

My son was diagnosed with GDD. He doesn't like when his popsicle melts and gets on him. How would I help him with that. Also he doesn't like when I run the bath water

Clapping loudly on any demand is sensory issues?
