Advice and resources : Sensory processing online workshops
Overview
These sessions are designed for parents, carers and those working with children and young people. Our aim is to help you understand the sensory needs that a child or young person may be experiencing. It offers strategies, practical advice and tips on how you can enable a child or young person to manage their sensory needs on a daily basis.
- Does your child avoid important activities because of how it makes them feel?
- Does the child you work with find it difficult to manage the demands of the classroom?
- Does your child become easily overwhelmed in busy or noisy places?
- Does the child you work with find it more difficult than others to focus or sit?
- Does your child move, push or 'crash' more than others?
Our Occupational Therapy team are pleased to introduce our online workshops to help you.
