Sensory Innovation Therapies

Sensory Innovation Therapies Providing pediatric occupational therapy, physical therapy, and special education tutoring in St. Lucie, Martin, & Palm Beach Counties.

My name is Leah Dunleavy, M.A., BCBA, OTR/L, OTD and I am an occupational therapist specialized in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with sensory processing difficulties. In addition to being an occupational therapist, I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and use my knowledge in behavior analysis to better understand how the surrounding events, environments, and performance impact participation and independence in everyday activities. My goal is to address the challenges that are impacting participation and independence through using a child and family’s strengths. By incorporating the family into treatment, caregivers learn how to best set up their child’s lives for everyday success. Sessions occur in the home or school environments to address challenges in the naturalistic environments.

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month 💜

🧠 What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes recurring seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain that can affect movement, awareness, or behavior.

👶 In children, seizures can look different, from brief staring spells to full-body convulsions.

💡 Here are some important things to remember if someone has a seizure:

🧍‍♀️ Stay calm and stay with the child
💜 Cushion their head and protect their body
⏱️ Time the seizure; call 911 if it lasts over 5 minutes
🚫 Do not put anything in their mouth or hold them down
💬 Roll them onto their side after and stay close to reassure
