In this special cross-posted episode, Cynthia joins Paul Cruz on the Neurodiversity Voices podcast to explore what it really means to “make the sensory connection”—for children, adults, families, educators, and clinicians.
Cynthia shares stories from her early days at Summit School, her years working in Cree communities, and the personal experiences that shaped how she understands sensory regulation as a human need, not a behaviour strategy. Together, they break down the eight sensory systems, how to recognize dysregulation, and how simple environmental changes can transform learning, communication, and emotional safety.
Whether you’re an educator, therapist, parent, or someone navigating your own sensory world, this episode offers practical, compassionate ways to support regulation right away.
