Join host Peggy Ployhar for an enlightening conversation with Sonia Story, M.S., creator of the Brain and Sensory Foundations program. Sonia shares how innate rhythmic movements, primitive reflex integration, and postural reflexes can help children build strong foundations for learning and thriving. With years of experience teaching these evidence-based techniques, Sonia explains how they support sensory processing, improve focus, and foster better coordination. Whether you're navigating sensory challenges, ADHD, or seeking strategies to help your child succeed, this episode is packed with practical insights you won’t want to miss!
