#159 - Sensory Processing - Part 2 (Sound sensitivity, toothbrushing, haircuts, nail trims)

Dr. Katie Frank from the Adult Down Syndrome Center in Park Ridge, IL joined the podcast to answer listener questions regarding sound sensitivity, toothbrushing, haircuts, and nail trims.  So many people with Down syndrome have sensory difficulties with these tasks and Dr. Frank helped explain her approach to these situations.
