The Power of Touch for the Tactile System

Thanks so much for joining us as we talk about the tactile system! In this episode, we discuss what it looks like when a child is under and over responsive to tactile input, as well as why this can cause negative behaviors. And of course, as always, we give you our favorite tips, tricks, and games to help your child increase their ability to process and modulate tactile input!
