Sometimes You Just Need an Expert

At about 11 months we suspected our son has autism.  However, it was not until 24 months that we finally found someone who would confirm our concerns, and at that time, fears!

As you already know, understanding the best path forward for kids is daunting. Especially so in the beginning when we know the least.

Sometimes (more than sometimes for me), we need the advice and help of an expert. At CSNLG we have a list of providers with specific expertise in various areas. We are continuing our efforts to bring those experts, and their knowledge, to you.

Take a look at our experts page to see who we recommend and have worked with in the past. Check back once in a while as we are continuing to add more folks.

If you don’t see anybody that fits your needs, feel free to reach out to us.

A Better Understanding of Our Sensory System and Sensory Integration With Dr. Susanne Smith Roley

Our sensory system has a profound impact on our everyday experiences and how we react to our world. Maybe a noise is annoying, a light too bright or an article of clothing feels just not right. For children with special needs such as autism, ADD and more, sensory struggles may be magnified to the point where they have a significant impact on their perception of the world. What may seem just fine to us, may be threatening to them.

Understanding the sensory system and its roll in a child’s life is what I talk to Dr. Susanne Smith Roley about today. We cover a lot of exciting material including sensory seekers, sensory avoiders, body awareness and much, much more. By the end of this podcast you may find yourself having a good understanding of terms such a proprioceptive, vestibular, temporal and spatial awareness. Wow!
