Understanding Sensory Processing workshop  (North East)

Contact - for families with disabled children

A chance to understand sensory processing and how it impacts on how we feel, behave and learn.  Explore strategies to support your family.

A workshop for parent carers in the North East.We live in a multi-sensory environment full of sound, colour, light, smell, taste and tactile experiences. Our nervous systems are also constantly providing us with information about our bodies, their current state and how they are interacting with the world. In order to respond appropriately to the world around us we need to be able to integrate all of this sensory information effectively. 
When there are difficulties with processing and integrating sensory information, this can have a direct impact on children’s emotions, behaviour and ability to engage meaningfully and successfully with the world. Being able to understand how your child may be processing sensory information will help you understand how to identify suitable strategies to manage any difficulties they face. We will explore how it can affect daily life including dressing and self-care tasks, sleep and emotional responses.
This session will be delivered by Amy Carey of Aspire Therapy, an Occupational Therapist and qualified Advanced Sensory Integration Practitioner with 20 years’ experience. We would aim to equip you with the understanding and knowledge to support your child’s sensory needs as they develop and grow. The session will enable you to
•	Develop a basic understanding of sensory integration and sensory processing difficulties.
•	Explore and understand how these difficulties affect daily life for your child.
•	Consider a range of strategies to help manage your child’s sensory-based difficulties.
This workshop will be held on Zoom. We can give advice on how to use this platform before the session is held, if you require this.
