Sensory Signs, Signals and Solutions Workshop (SPACE)

Join us for the Sensory Signs, Signals and Solutions Workshop! This online event is designed to help individuals understand and navigate the complex world of sensory experiences. During this workshop, we will explore various sensory signs and signals that neurodivergent individuals may experience, and discuss practical solutions to address them. Our speakers will share their knowledge and provide valuable insights on how to support individuals with sensory processing difficulties.

Evidence Base: Sensory processing difficulties usually form part of the autism spectrum, ADHD and other neurodiverse condtions and have a significant impact on the child and family. Families are finding it increasingly difficult to access Occupational Therapy services which would help to identify their child’s difficulties.
