Meeting the Sensory Needs of Our Kids and Ourselves with Keri Wilmot Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Toy Consultant, and Author.

Today, we’re talking to Keri Wilmot.  Keri is a pediatric occupational therapist with over twenty years of experience in the field, a consultant to the toy industry as the “Toy Queen”, and the author of “Wired Differently: A Teacher’s Guide to Understanding Sensory-Processing Challenges”.

Keri talks to us about the important role sensory processing plays in the lives of the neurodiverse.  She tells us about the role of an occupational therapist, reveals that we actually have eight senses - not five, illuminates the difference treatment and woo when it comes to sensory integration, and shares the role that a healthy sensory diet plays in self-regulation.
