About Becky

Becky is an Occupational Therapist and mom to a 10 year old and a 7 year old boy.  Becky has been interested in sensory processing ever since learning about it in graduate school. When her oldest son was diagnosed autistic, she dove into learning everything she could about sensory processing to better support her son.  Along the way, she realized just how deeply our sensory needs and preferences impact our daily life, regardless of our neurology.

Over the years, Becky has continued to expand her knowledge of sensory processing, and continued to adapt her house and daily routines to meet the sensory needs of her children.  She has found that even small changes can have a profound impact on the entire household.  Becky is excited to share this information with you!
