Regulation Before Routines

Sensory processing is the foundation. If a child is not regulated, we cannot expect them to do much else. Come and learn about what sensory processing looks like for infants, toddlers, and young children. Let's dive deep into understanding not only what sensory systems are, but how they function and why dysregulation may occur. What happens when children's sensory systems are not functioning optimally, and what support can we provide the child and the family to foster increased participation in family structures and routines.

I have been a pediatric occupational therapist for 18 years, working in early intervention, school, and clinic settings. I am the Director of Occupational Therapy Services at HLC Therapy Group, and provide consultant services as well. I am a disability advocate, and have completed programs through ICDD (Partners in Policymaking) and a fellowship at UIC (LEND) to further my advocacy leadership skills. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I am part of an interdisciplinary team for autism diagnostics, certified in ADOS-2 administration. I hold my Basic Certification in DIRfloortime, and will be pursuing the next level of certification. I specialize in working with autistic children and their families. I work with all clients through a neurodiversity affirming, and strengths-based approach. I currently work with clients in school, clinic, and aquatic based settings.
