What we promise

DrSensory is a free resource for families and the clinicians who work with them. Here is what that means in practice, and what it does not.

Plain language, not clinical shorthand

97 conditions explained the way a parent would ask about them — what it is, what it looks like day to day, and what actually helps.

Named reviewers, or we say so

Clinical pages are reviewed by Dr. Eva Lassey, PT, DPT or Dr. Yana Pekarski, DDS, and the reviewer is named on the page. Where a page has not been reviewed, it says that too.

A real way to find help nearby

A free directory of 2,606 therapy clinics across all 50 states and Washington, DC. We do not provide therapy ourselves, and being listed is not an endorsement — always verify credentials directly with the clinic.

Sources shown, and updated when they change

Research and clinical guidance are cited so you can check them. When guidance changes, the page changes — and we say when it was last reviewed.

What people have said about DrSensory

Unedited except for length, from parents, teachers and clinicians who use the site.

“Families frequently ask for trusted online resources about ADHD, executive functioning, autism, anxiety, and sensory processing. DrSensory covers these topics in an approachable way while providing practical strategies that parents and educators can immediately implement. It’s one of the better pediatric therapy resources I’ve come across.”
Macey
School Psychologist
“As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’m always looking for trustworthy resources to recommend to families. DrSensory has become one of my favorites because it explains sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, emotional regulation, and child development in language parents actually understand. The activities are practical and evidence-informed, and I appreciate having a resource I feel confident sharing with families.”
Karina
Occupational Therapist
“I found DrSensory while searching for sensory activities for my daughter, and I’ve stayed for everything else. I’ve learned about emotional regulation, sensory diets, executive functioning, and ways to support my kids at home without feeling overwhelmed. The articles are easy to understand, and I always leave with something new to try.”
Kate
Mom of Three
“As an elementary school teacher, I work with students who have ADHD, autism, and sensory processing challenges every year. DrSensory has helped me better understand why certain behaviors happen and provided simple classroom-friendly sensory strategies that actually make a difference. I’ve recommended the website to several parents already.”
Lidia
Teacher
“I have started to refer some of my patients to look for resources out there with more information for their children with autism — this is one of them! Awesome.”
Hakeem
Pediatrician
“There isn’t enough information about sensory processing out there, so I’m pleased to see more coming out! Hoping this DrSensory site can help get the word out so more people with sensory processing disorders can get the support they need.”
Max
Nurse Practitioner
“Awesome! Love checking out all of your information on all of the different diagnoses that are rarely heard of but so common. Keep it coming!”
Ashley
COTA
“I have a child with autism and such a difficult time figuring out how to help control his impulses, especially when he’s over-stimulated. I’ve found some really cool resources on the website — what I’m most excited for is being able to video-call with a therapist so they can see my son’s room and tell me what else I can do to help.”
Bryce
Autism Dad
