Many autistic children and young people experience the world in an intense and unique way through their senses. Everyday sounds, textures, lights, or smells can feel overwhelming, while other sensations may be under-responsive or actively sought. These sensory differences can have a significant impact on behaviour, learning, and emotional wellbeing, both at home and in school.
This webinar will provide a clear understanding of sensory sensitivities in autism, why they occur, and how they can shape daily life. We will also share practical strategies and tools that parents, carers, and professionals can use to create supportive, calming, and enabling environments.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand sensory processing differences and how they relate to autism.
- Recognise the signs of sensory sensitivities across different sensory systems.
- Explore the impact of sensory differences on behaviour, learning, and wellbeing.
- Identify practical strategies to reduce sensory stress and support self-regulation.
- Develop supportive environments at home, in school, and in the community.
I guarantee holistic approach and understanding as I have been through the journey myself.
