These sessions are designed for parents, carers, and people working with children and young people. They are developed and run by our occupational therapists.
Our aim is to help you understand your child's sensory needs if you can answer "yes" to any of these questions.
- Does your child avoid important activities because of how it makes them feel?
- Does your child find it difficult to manage the demands of the classroom?
- Does your child become easily overwhelmed in busy or noisy places?
- Does your child find it more difficult than others to focus or sit still?
- Does your child move, push, or 'crash' more than others?
We will give you strategies, practical advice, and tips that you can use to help your child manage their sensory needs on a daily basis.
