Erin discusses the nuances of sensory processing, addressing both sensory seekers and sensory avoiders. She sheds light on how sensory input affects these individuals differently and the impact it has on their daily lives.

For sensory avoiders, Erin explains how certain sensory experiences, such as loud sounds and bright lights, can be overwhelming. They often seek quiet and familiar environments to find comfort and relief.
