An intro to Sensory Processing Difficulties and how it can affect behaviour

In this 2 hour workshop we will explore how sensory processing difficulties/disorder might present itself in each of the senses, including the 3 lessor known senses.

We will explore some of the behaviour responses which often go hand in hand when sensory information becomes overwhelming for a young person. We will look at parental/carer responses to these behaviours and explore accommodation Vs. coping methods.

We will conclude the session with sharing NVR and Sensory processing strategies and invite questions from the group.

Our practitioner* has lived experience of Sensory processing difficulties/disorders from both a parental and personal perspective.

*(It should be noted our practitioner is not an Occupational Therapist, therefore we will talking from an NVR perspective only.)
