In Focus

In this special KTBS 3 podcast episode, host Courtney Butts interviews Deanna Webb, a physical therapist at Willis-Knighton Health, about the hospital's pediatric outpatient rehabilitation program. Webb details how the clinic's multidisciplinary team offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy to neurodiverse children from infancy through 17 years old. The conversation explores the importance of early intervention and explains how the proprioceptive and vestibular sensory systems affect childhood development and body awareness. Additionally, Webb previews a sensory-friendly holiday event taking place on Saturday, Dec. 12, from noon to 3 p.m.. This upcoming event is designed to provide a controlled, low-stimulation environment where children with sensory processing difficulties can safely participate in activities, make crafts, and take pictures with Santa.
