Sensory Seekers

Support for Sensory Seeking Kids

If your child is always moving, touching, crashing, spinning, or seeking intense input, their nervous system may need more sensory information to feel organized. Sensory-informed support can help channel those needs in ways that improve regulation, focus, and daily routines.

You’re in the right place if your child constantly seeks movement, pressure, or sensory input.
