Description

Today’s episode we’re answering a listener's question about how sensory processing challenges affect learning and higher-level cognitive skills.


We dive into the connection between vestibular processing and cross or mixed dominance. 


We talk about research that has been done in this area as well as what it all means.


Then we jump into strategies that we would recommend for this family, including vestibular-based activities, bilateral integration activities, looking into primitive reflexes, and more!
