In this episode of The Neurodivergent Musician, I’m joined by Ashleigh Magner, an occupational therapist with a passion for sensory processing and sensory profiling.
Ashleigh shares her expertise on sensory differences and the importance of understanding your sensory profile as a powerful step toward embracing and celebrating your neurodivergent identity. We explore the common types of sensory processing differences among neurodivergent individuals and how these differences impact daily life, relationships, and creativity.
Ashleigh provides practical insights on becoming more 'SENSORY AWARE'. From simple environmental tweaks to preparation routines and having coping tools on hand, she offers actionable strategies to help you proactively manage triggering environments, activities, and interactions. These tips can empower you to create more regulated, sustainable moments throughout your day.
If you’re curious about how sensory awareness can support you as a neurodivergent individual, this episode is packed with actionable advice and deep understanding.
You can connect with Ashleigh via email at ashleighmagnerot@gmail.com or find her on Instagram @ashleighmagnerOT (website launching soon!).
Let’s continue creating ripples together.
