Regulation
Helping the child reach a comfortable state for play, learning and interaction.
Sensory integration
Supporting comfort, regulation and participation.
Individualised sensory support informed by how the child responds to everyday experiences.
Signs parents may notice
- Strong reactions to sounds, textures, movement, crowds or grooming.
- Constant movement, crashing, spinning or seeking intense input.
- Difficulty settling, transitioning or participating in busy environments.
- Avoidance of messy play, certain clothing or unfamiliar sensations.
- Sensory responses affecting sleep, feeding, play or school routines.
Assessment matters
Similar behaviours can have different causes. A sensory plan should be based on individual observation and assessment rather than a generic activity list.
Support may focus on
Transitions
Strategies that make movement between activities and places more manageable.
Daily environments
Practical adjustments and routines for home, school and community settings.
Every sensory profile is different.
Begin with a conversation and individual assessment.
