Sensory processing therapy

Is your child easily overwhelmed by sounds, textures or busy environments?

Some children have difficulty processing sensory information such as sound, movement, touch, taste or visual input. This can affect how they respond to everyday situations, including play, learning, eating, dressing and social interaction.

Children with sensory processing difficulties may appear over-sensitive, under-responsive, or seek out certain sensations. They may become distressed by noise, avoid certain textures, struggle in busy environments or find it difficult to stay calm and regulated.

Sensory processing difficulties are not behavioural choices. They relate to how a child’s nervous system responds to sensory input and can impact communication, emotional regulation and daily life.

Therapy can support children to better understand and manage sensory input. Support may include strategies to help with regulation, adapting environments where possible, and guidance for parents to support sensory needs in everyday routines.
