Check out our tips for helping your kiddos feel calm and grounded during this hectic time of year!

Whether you need advice, resources, or just a little support, these sessions are here to help make your life a little easier.

Date: December 16, 2025
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Presenter: Dr. Amy Burt, Occupational Therapist/WVU CED/WV LEND

Topic: Understanding Sensory
Do you have a sensory-seeking child or know someone with sensory processing disorder? We will be learning all about sensory during this session!
What you’ll learn:
• Understand why certain sensory experiences are beneficial for some people and why behaviors change with some sensory stimulation.
• Learn more about sensory processing disorder and other sensory-related conditions.

At the end of the discussion, we’ll have an open Q&A session where you can ask follow-up questions or just chat with the experts. You’ll leave feeling more connected, empowered, and ready to take on whatever comes your way.

These sessions are designed to fit into your lunch break, so grab a bite, tune in, and join a community of families who understand what you’re going through. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other, one lunch break at a time!
