AIMing Between The Lines
At AIM, our work goes far beyond assessments and academic plans—it’s about understanding people and meeting them where they are. AIMing Between the Lines is our blog dedicated to unpacking the real stories, challenges, and triumphs behind learning, neurodiversity, and mental health.
Whether you're a teacher navigating classroom needs, a parent looking for answers, or a professional supporting students and families, this space is for you. We cover everything from educational tools and school-based strategies to broader topics like advocacy, inclusion, and emotional well-being—always with heart, a touch of humor, and a deep respect for the journey.
We’re here to help you read between the lines, because that’s often where the most important truths are found.
Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder:
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition that affects how the brain interprets sensory information, leading to heightened sensitivity or an under-responsiveness to stimuli like touch, sound, and movement. Often mistaken for ADHD, autism, or anxiety, SPD can have profound effects on both physical and mental health, making everyday environments overwhelming. For children, early intervention through occupational therapy and sensory-friendly adjustments can provide essential support, while adults diagnosed later in life can benefit from workplace accommodations and self-regulation strategies. Understanding SPD is the first step in creating a more inclusive world where individuals with sensory challenges can thrive.
