Autism and Sensory Differences Parent Workshop

Screenshot 2025 08 19 112538

We look at what hypo- and hyper- mean with regard to senses, and what happens in sensory overload.

We look at what difficulties may present in each of the senses if the system isnt working as it should, and what can be done to support with these.

Who can you seek help from and what difference would it make for the child or young person to be well regulated, and also what could be done in school.
