I chatted with Laura Petix (a pediatric occupational therapist) all about sensory needs, her experiences as a mama to a little one with sensory needs, and the difference between tantrums and meltdowns in kids.  She dished on:

• The difference between tantrums and meltdowns, and why it is important
