Have you ever considered the complexity of a simple touch, or the challenges that a child might face when their tactile system is out of sync? In today’s episode we delve into the tactile system. Everything from tactile discrimination, tactile defensiveness to hypo responsive to touch. And as always we end with the practical strategies to support children who struggle with tactile processing, ensuring they can comfortably navigate their sensory world and engage in all occupations they want to.
