Highly Sensitive Child (HSC) Therapist/OT Needed
Does anyone have experience with a Highly Sensitive Child (HSC)? Known clinically as sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), it is a personality type for about 20% of people and is neurodivergent adjacent.
We've been trying to access private OT support for *months* but scheduling has been very difficult. Because my child is not autistic, adhd etc finding the correct supportive services has been very challenging.
So maybe you know an awesome play-based therapist that works with this? Message me?

Hi! I know how challenging these waiting lists can be. I have a neurodivergent son with sensory sensitivities and have finally secured both an OT and play therapist. I highly recommend both. For OT: Kristina Fuller from Full Circle OT. For therapy: Maggie Pantoni, LMFT
Hi there - our daughter is also highly sensitive and has sensory processing issues. We’re similarly struggling to get her into OT but our pediatrician recommended Pediatric Motor Playground, and they’ve been a helpful bridge to work on some of the gross / fine motor skills. I believe the program was designed by an OT and is staffed by OT students. Worth checking out as an option!
