Sensory development is the foundation for how kids move, learn, and interact with the world. When systems like the proprioception (body awareness), vestibular system (balance and movement), and visual processing (how the brain interprets what we see) are working together, children can feel more regulated, coordinated, and ready to engage. Supporting these systems through play, movement, and everyday activities can make a big difference in focus, confidence, and overall development.

Looking for help with Dyslexia - Erin our SLp has a specialty niche of working with children with Dyslexia Speech therapy can play an important role in supporting children with dyslexia because it targets the underlying language skills that reading depends on. Many children with dyslexia have difficulty with phonological processing—the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate sounds in words—which is essential for decoding and spelling.
