#301 - Does Your Toddler Have ADHD, SPD or Are They Acting in Typical Toddler Ways?

35m · All Things Sensory by Harkla · 27 Mar 04:00

Check out our newly re-launched digital course: Early Intervention Blueprint: Sensory and Developmental Milestones for Infants and Toddlers

Designed for new and expecting parents, as well as therapists and professionals working with children ages birth - 4 years. OTs and OTAs - earn 11 CEU contact hours through AOTA with this digital course!


As pediatric therapists, we’re often asked about certain toddler behaviors - Is this ‘normal’? Should I be concerned about _____? Does my toddler have ADHD?

Today, we’re chatting about what is considered ‘normal’ in toddlerhood - what you can expect from your toddler and what are some signs that there might be some underlying challenges.

First, we dive into common things that toddlers go through, like struggling with a new event and pushing back during daily routines.

Then we dive into what it looks like for a toddler to have specific sensory processing challenges and what we might see if a toddler is showing signs of ADHD.

And finally we finish the conversation with what you can do!
