Ep 48 -- OT The Places You'll Go! with Cynthia Miller-Lautman

This episode, we have the great joy of speaking with Cynthia Miller-Lautman! Cynthia is an Occupational Therapist based in Canada, specializing in neurodiversity through sensory integration and developing fine/gross motor skills. She works with schools, educators, caregivers, and a myriad of others. In her role, Cynthia makes sure that these complex sensory processing concepts are easy to understand and accessible for all. Alongside this, Cynthia has worked closely and intentionally with various Indigenous communities while being cognizant and sensitive of various cultural nuances and needs. As a result, Cynthia co-develops wonderful and supportive approaches to aid with regulation through a sensory lens. Together, we dive deep into what makes an Occupational Therapist -- as well as various myths and misconceptions. We loved our time with Cynthia and learned a ton about how different sensory processing needs manifest for different individuals. Hearing about Cynthia's experiences and expertise with sensory processing was inspirational, especially with the purpose and need for the various internal systems that we all feel. We know that everyone will benefit immensely from hearing Cynthia's story and understanding of neurodiverse individuals. Cynthia, it was such a privilege and pleasure speaking with you and hearing all about your experiences and journey🦄🥳🦄! -- Make the world Sensory Safe! -- Cynthia Miller-Lautman can be found at her website, Instagram, and LinkedIn!
