Sensory Processing For Children & Families
7 Week Block Sessions
Typically, the brain efficiently processes and integrates sensory information from the surrounding environment. For some children, this process is disrupted, resulting in sensory processing difficulties. This can lead to challenges in behaviour, learning, attention and social interaction.
The sensory sessions will provide young people and families with the opportunity to access professional input and advice around sensory processing challenges, providing strategies and guidance they can take away and apply to support development for the young people.
