The Sensory Code

A practical guide to supporting your child's sensory needs - and celebrating their uniqueness - from @TheOTButterfly

As every parent knows, kids don't come with an instruction manual. Decoding problem behavior and identifying your child's unique needs can feel like a daily struggle - particularly when it comes to sensory challenges.

In this relatable and informative guide, occupational therapist Laura Petix presents a guided tour of your child's brain and nervous system - and offers tools for helping kids thrive in an overwhelming world that's not set up for them. Filled with simple explainers and hands-on techniques, the book reveals:

• Understanding your child's unique sensory profile
• Decoding the needs underneath your child's big emotions and problem behavior
• Everyday tools for more harmony and connection
• Language to help your child understand how their brain works.
• Strategies for overcoming frustration and dialing up empathy - for your child and yourself.

Whether you're managing meltdowns, nurturing a sensory seeker, navigating sensory sensitivities, or tackling daily routines, this book will empower you with expert-guided, neurodivergent-friendly tools to support your child and experience more joy and regulation in your daily lives.
