Episode Synopsis

1 in 6 Australian children experience sensory processing challenges. Have you ever wondered if your child might be one of them?

In this episode, I’m joined by paediatric occupational therapist Alycia Keys. Alycia is an expert in sensory processing and she runs her own clinic where she helps kids make sense of their unique sensory worlds.

This is a must-listen for parents of children with sensory sensitivities (like autism or ADHD), teachers looking to better support their students, or anyone interested in understanding how kids process the world around them.

In this episode we chat about:

What you really need to know about sensory processing and how it could be affecting your child

The early signs most parents miss… And how to spot them before they become bigger issues

Simple, powerful tools you can use at home to help your kid feel more comfortable and focused

Common misconceptions about autism and sensory processing that might surprise you

How to support your child’s emotional regulation in ways you haven’t considered

Why early intervention can make all the difference, and the key focus you should start with
