I’m so excited to bring you this podcast episode all about sensory and behavior with our guest, Becky Lyddon. I’m always asked questions like;

  • What’s the difference between sensory and behavior?
  • Are sensory and behaviors connected?
  • What can cause sensory behaviors?
  • Is it a sensory seeking behavior?
  • and so many more..
