Sensory Experience

South Spring Baptist Church 17002 US-69, Tyler, TX, United States

We are partnering with the UT Tyler Occupational Therapy Masters Program to bring you a Sensory Experience.  Crowds, noises, bright lights, smells, surprises, change in routine, and more can make life difficult for our children exposed to trauma.  Kids with sensory issues often struggle with regulating and experience a lot of meltdowns. As a family you will go through each sensory room to learn about how they are processed and get tools to help with meeting sensory needs.  We will meet at South Spring Baptist Church 17002 Hwy 69 in Tyler in their Children’s Building.  

Contact Christi Sowell at christi@thefosteringcollective.org or 903-253-9144 for more information.
