  3. I am interested in this email series, but am not seeing the box for subscribing.

  4. Hi Alysia, it is a grey box at the end of the post and has a green “click here” button on it.

  5. Thank you so much for all the great info. I have a 6 yr old little girl who started showing signs of sensory processing problems at age 2. Flapping her hands with excitement was the first thing and today it is so much worse. I have asked her Drs and it seems I am just being turned on circles. She does well in school but in the last 4 yrs she has developed more stuff that falls in the sensory area. I want to try to help her to stop flapping before she gets made fun of at school it is already starting.

  6. Thank you for sharing
