Ever wondered how movement can prime the body for effective communication? Get ready for a treasure trove of insights, as we sit down with occupational therapist and homeschooling mom, Munira Adenwalla, who skillfully ties together the relationship between the vestibular system, responsible for movement, and the auditory system, crucial in communication.

Discover how understanding these connections can help prepare your child for better communication, speech and writing!

In our conversation with Munira, we delve into the power of occupational therapy for children, particularly the benefits of movement-based activities. She enlightens us about how the vestibular system influences both brain hemispheres, and how engaging activities like obstacle courses, trampoline jumping, and other fun games can bolster communication skills in children. Munira also emphasizes the importance of embracing our kids' unique movement styles, and engaging in play activities with them to bolster their development.
