Sensory Supports for Young Children Who Have or Are Experiencing Trauma

Pediatric Occupational Therapist Alyssa Mason joins us for another discussion about the sensory needs of young children in our care. For those who have experienced trauma or may be experiencing trauma, what can we provide related to support, how do we understand possible triggers, and how can we be informed and in-tune to a child and the messages they are sending through their behavior?  This podcast recording was funded by Greater Twin Cities United Way (GTCUW) 80x3 - Resilient from the Start.
