The Body Speaks: What your child’s behavior is telling you

Understanding sensory processing through an Occupational Therapists lens

Big feelings. Constant movement. Aggression. Picky eating. Meltdowns that seem to come out of nowhere.

What if your child’s behavior isn’t defiance — but information?

In this workshop, we’ll explore sensory processing and behavior through the lens of occupational therapy and child development. You’ll learn how the nervous system shapes your child’s daily functioning and practical strategies to support regulation at home.

Who is this for? Parents, caregivers, teachers, anyone and everyone who desires to deepen their toolbox for their child or themselves!

About Mariah Schwab MSOT & mom of 3:

After completing my masters degree in 2018, I worked in pediatrics until the birth of my second child. While my professional training equipped me with the science behind nervous system development, motherhood has required me to live it. I have become increasingly passionate about empowering parents with the knowledge to help them understand their children, grounded in the reality of every day life. You can know your child intimately. You can parent with clarity and connection. My work is to support your journey and build your confidence, because when you understand the body, you change the story!
