My Sensory Life: Touch

My Sensory Life: Touch

by Abigail Rivera | May 17, 2022 | Life Skills, Sensory, Sensory Series | 0 comments

I often find it interesting to think about the complexity and design of the human body. Each of your fingertips has over 3,000 tactile receptors that send a message to our brain almost instantaneously to help us interpret the texture of a surface, temperature, and...

Sensory Processing: The Auditory System

by Katie McKenna, MS, OTR/L | Nov 11, 2019 | Sensory, Sensory Series | 0 comments

As we go through each sensory system during this blog series, I like to think about my own preferences in that area as I write about it.  The auditory system is definitely a big one for me.  I don’t know about you, but I am someone who always needs to turn down...
