Ep. 29: The Importance of Outdoor Play with Angela Hanscom

The importance of outdoor play is so so very important!  Listen in to hear all of the benefits of outdoor play.  When it comes to our children with Autism and sensory difficulties, I honestly think that getting them outside is even more important! Meet Angela Angela J. Hanscom is a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of TimberNook—an award-winning developmental and nature-based program that has gained international popularity. She is also the author of Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children.
