How Can Sensory Issues Affect Listening and Language

January 20, 2025 by jennifer 2 Comments

      You work with a pediatric occupational therapist that specializes in kids with sensory issues and/or on the spectrum to help them better manage their sensory challenges. In addition, if needed, work with a speech language pathologist to address the missing language.
