Please explore all of our tabs for parents/carers, education staff and other professionals. The topics covered include;
- Sensory Development
- Parent Mini Series
- Teens
- Education Mini Series
- Activities of Daily Living
- Thinking Beyond Sensory
We strongly recommend that you begin by watching the What Is Sensory Integration Miniseries, which includes videos on - What is Sensory Integration, Modulation and Self-Regulation, Tigger Zone, Eeyore Zone and Meeting Your Child's Sensory Needs. These videos will provide the foundation for understanding and supporting your child. It will also help you to better understand the other resources shared on our website.
There are a wide range of resources and strategies to try. We recommend that you do not try to change lots of things at once. Choose what is a priority for you and your family. Implement strategies and changes gradually. This will make it easier for you to work out what is going to be helpful for your child, as well as being more manageable for you as a family.
Not all the resources may be relevant for your child, depending on their age or developmental stage. Some resources may be relevant to you now, but some may provide you with ideas that will be more helpful in future, as your child gets older.
