LAKE ARIEL, Pa. — It's hard for people not to feel overwhelmed these days, but if you have a child with autism or any type of sensory disorder going somewhere noisy or distracting can trigger their anxiety.
Samantha Kunz knows this all too well. Kunz is a social worker and has ADHD and struggled to find what helped her calm down and refocus.
"I knew that medication couldn't only be the answer, so some of these things in here are things that I started doing. I started being mindful. I started using light therapy. I started using sensory items to help regulate my emotions," Kunz said.
