About this episode
Growing Focus Together: Sensory Integration for Home and School
Cynthia is an Occupational Therapist with more than 25 years of experience supporting neurodivergent learners in schools, homes, and community settings. Her work helps educators understand behaviour and learning through a sensory lens, offering practical strategies that promote regulation, inclusion, and authentic connection.
Cynthia has consulted for schools for neurodiverse children, school boards and indigenous health agencies, giving her a uniquely broad perspective on how sensory needs show up across cultures, environments, and developmental stages. She is also the creator of Make the Sensory Connection: A Human Approach to Self-Regulation, an online course that translates sensory science into accessible tools for teachers and families.
In this episode, Cynthia takes about how together school and home can integrate a child's sensory needs. She translates complex sensory processing concepts into practical, empathetic, and hands-on strategies for educators, families, and professionals to support sensory regulation in daily life.
