Welcome to Sensory Needs - what everyone needs to know (part 1)

Hello, 

If you want to learn more about your own sensory needs or support a child with sensory needs then you are in the right place!

Quite often children are described as "sensory", but what does it mean?

In this introductory course, you are going to learn why sensory processing and integration is important to you, how it develops in childhood but impacts upon your life choices as an adult and what happens when sensory processing develops differently. You will take away practical strategies to support sensory needs and embrace a sensory-rich life.

Most of the sections are offered in manageable chunks, approximately 20 - 30 minutes designed specifically to fit in within busy family, social and work life. The 'How to Help' section is a little longer but shares lots of practical ideas and strategies!

For each part of the training, you will get 2 or 3 very clear actions which will support you to make positive changes that support children with sensory needs and to embrace a sensory rich life. 

There are also free posters for you to download and print that provides the key information that we discuss in an easy to read format. We really encourage you to print them off and stick them places that you will look frequently to help you to make positive changes and embrace a sensory-rich life!

Enjoy,

Laura & Louisa
