Difficulty processing sensory information during early childhood - Feeling overwhelmed, overloaded & not being understood.
Some children have ‘supersonic’ senses. Noises seem louder than they do to others; clothes that other children have no problem wearing feel scratchy or sore; smells that others don’t even notice make them sick or uncomfortable? Many children with additional needs can experience this type of sensory overload, it’s an invisible phenomenon that others can find difficult to understand but it’s very real! Other children aren’t registering things enough through their senses and are constantly seeking the input they need e.g. fidgeting, jumping, running, and moving. This talk will help you recognise these sensory processing differences in children. You will learn strategies to help these children, along with how to make environmental changes that can make all the difference in that child’s ability to engage, learn and play.
