See the Why Behind the BehaviorÂ

A Toolkit You'll Use TonightÂ
A 6-page printable toolkit that goes straight on your fridge. Your child's 8 sensory systems at a glance, a worksheet to spot your child's top 3 patterns, and 5 strategies you can try today — no appointments, no equipment, no cost.
Confidence That Doesn't ExpireÂ
This isn't a strategy that works for one week and fades. It's a lens shift. Once you understand how your child's nervous system works, you'll have that understanding at breakfast, at pickup, at bedtime, and on the hard days that come out of nowhere.
Hi, I'm Melissa Summers — a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with 16 years of experience working with children's sensory systems. I'm also a mom who knows that parenting is equal parts beautiful and chaotic.
I created Root & Rise Sensory Solutions because I kept meeting families struggle with the same thing: a child whose behavior was being treated as the problem, when the real answer was hiding in their nervous system.
I'm not here to give you a diagnosis or a clinical treatment plan. I'm here to hand you a lens; the same one I've used with hundreds of families, so you can finally see what your child has been trying to tell you.
Connection over correction. That's what we do here.
