THE SENSORY CODE

THE SENSORY CODE is 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 accessible and supportive guide, occupational therapist Laura Petix presents a guided tour of your child's brain and nervous system and offers tools for helping kids navigate our noisy, overwhelming world. 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
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.
