In this October 2008 conference call, author and advocate Chantal Sicile-Kira steps in to talk with Ernest Priestly about sensory integration problems in people on the autism spectrum. While not an occupational therapist, she draws on her son Jeremy’s extensive sensory therapies and the research behind her books to explain how sensory processing differences can drive behavior, meltdowns and obsessions.
Chantal answers listener questions about how sensory integration relates to autism, getting therapies paid for, auditory defensiveness and language processing, whether occupational therapy can help a young child, helping a child describe how they felt before a meltdown, using a weighted vest during homework, exercises families can do at home, and toilet training.
