From Kelly Beins: Polyvagal Theory, while fascinating and SO useful at explaining many aspects of what we see in practice, also confuses our traditional OT way of considering regulation and the role of sensory processing in human function. Polyvagal theory also emphasizes the importance of attunement, which is a concept that I think gets skimmed over and is too easy to miss when working with parents and children, setting up home programs or even when directly working with a child in session. Kim and I will be talking about all of this in a couple of weeks!
