Parent Sensory Training
What are Sensory Difficulties?
Our service provides a training model to help all those around your child recognise possible sensory difficulties and support to think about strategies to try.
- Does your child appear uncomfortable in their body, do they fidget, squirm or constantly touch things?
- Do they struggle to concentrate or are they easily distracted.
- Do certain sensations upset them?
