123 Is your Autistic child/student in internal alarm? With Michelle Brown

Oct 6, 2023

In this episode, we explore the concept of the 'alarm state' in children and why what we perceive as behavior might actually be a response to stress and overwhelm. We will also learn specific tools to support your children when they are in that alarm state. 

Michelle Brown, Herbalist, Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Biology of Trauma Practitioner leads us to understand the different states of our kids’ nervous systems when they are stressed. 

We discuss how to recognize these states, build resources into your daily life, and provide sensory support for your child.
