Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder

In this Understanding Sensory Processing workshop, you’ll discover how the brain and body work together to interpret the world through our senses – and why this process can feel very different for each person. We’ll explore the eight senses, including touch, sound, sight, smell, taste, movement, balance, and internal awareness, and how they influence emotions, behaviour, and daily life. You’ll learn to recognise signs of sensory sensitivities or sensory-seeking behaviours, understand how these can impact learning and relationships, and take away practical strategies to create supportive environments at home, in school, or in the workplace.
