Deb and Maria welcomed their guest, occupational therapist Katie. Prior to the recording of this episode they drank "baby wine" Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato Champagne, Deb voted "sink it" but Maria voted "drink it". During the episode they drank Wild Turkey Honey Whiskey, they all voted "drink it". They paired both the whiskey and "baby wine" with goat cheese. Katie pointed out how the goat cheese has a mild taste and creamy texture. Deb gave an introduction about occupational therapy where the goal is to help people across their lifespan to achieve activities of daily living.

They played "This or That" as a way to get to know our guest of honor and Maria. Deb and Katie are also in a relationship with a comedian. They then discussed sensory integration therapy and how it includes exposure to sensory stimuli in a structured and repetitive in order to increase organization in the brain. They also discussed a Sensory diet and how it increases the client's attention to "get them in the right state". Following their "See-Do-Write" segment they discussed what certain sensory-seeking behaviors look like, ways to incorporate certain activities into sessions and how to write specific goals for these students.

At the halfway point, Deb and Maria reminded listeners to follow them on Instagram @slps_wine_and_cheese_pod @maria_kotsonisslp and @deborahbrookscccslp

Katie then answered listener's questions related to oral sensory-seeking behaviors and went over the 6 senses. As per the usual, they gave their Tips and Tricks where they agreed pairing what the client hates and loves leads to success. They ended with "when you judge others, you do not define them; you define yourself".
