About Laura 

I’m Laura Petix, an expert in neurodiversity and sensory processing. I'm an author, keynote speaker, podcast host and professional development host. My work is inspired by both my clinical expertise as a pediatric occupational therapist and lived experience as a neurodivergent parent with ADHD, raising a neurodivergent daughter with sensory sensitivities and anxiety. 

My mission is to make sure as many people in the world know what neurodiversity is, and how to create more neuro-inclusive spaces in the community, home and classrooms for our neurodivergent kids. All of my education and content centers on the notion that all behavior is a reflection of the state of the nervous system, and if you want better behavior, focus and participation, you've got to speak to the nervous system.
