Workshop 1: Too Loud, Too Bright and the Seams on my Socks HurtAutistic children often have heightened senses and can find everyday sounds and textures uncomfortable and even painful. This session will help parents/guardians understand the unique sensory profile of their child. They will learn how to recognise which senses are heightened and which might even be under-registering input. The senses include the hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch senses along with interoception (sensing what goes on within the body e.g. hunger, thirst etc.); proprioception (sense of body in space) and vestibular (sense of balance). We will look at methods for accommodating the sensory needs of your child and discuss how to create a sensory toolbox for your child and the types of sensory equipment that could be useful in your home.
All workshops are free – if interested contact Suzie 086 1748987
