Oh Crap Parenting with Jamie Glowacki

158. Understanding and Managing Sensory Sensitivities in Children with Allie Ticktin

53 min • 23 november 2023

Today, we're talking to Allie Ticktin, MA, OTD, OTR/L, about sensory and child development, sensory sensitivities, and sensory toys. Allie is a seasoned occupational therapist with a focus on the significance of sensory development and play in early childhood. Holding a master's degree and a clinical doctorate in occupational therapy, and having personally experienced sensory issues as a child, Allie brings a unique and informed perspective to the table. She firmly believes that sensory development and play are vital for early childhood development, arguing against early academics and emphasizing the role of play in building muscles and sensory skills that support academic tasks later on. Allie suggests that a lack of play and sensory experiences can lead to an increase in behavioral issues and developmental needs, and she underscores the role of toys and play experiences in shaping children's interests and passions. Join Jamie and Allie on this episode of The Oh Crap Parenting with Jamie Glowacki to delve deeper.
