Set of 4 Tactile Sensory Processing Toys!!
This set of 4 toys has some popular toys that can be helpful with kids who like to squeeze and play with toys that have different textures. These can also be good for encouraging kids who don’t like to touch things with textures! Even kids who don’t have any issues with Sensory Processing would love these!!
This one comes with 4 balls that all have different textures and colors!

Episode 3: Tactile Sensory Processing
In this Episode of The Special Needs Podcast, I talk about one aspect of Tactile Sensory Processing. In my Occupational Therapy practice with kids and families I see issues with this area a lot! There are so many things to talk about, that I will be breaking this one up into multiple episodes in order to try and keep things from getting too confusing!
Today, I am focusing mostly on kids that have some sensitivities to things touching them, and I give one long example with explanations.
