Managing Sensory Overwhelm
About
For neurodivergent clients, heightened or diminished sensitivity can lead to sensory overwhelm or under-stimulation, impacting daily functioning, communication and emotional regulation. Learn to identify sensory triggers and their effects, such as overstimulation from loud environments or discomfort due to certain textures. Explore how sensory differences influence behaviours, reactions, and overall well-being.The workshop provides practical tools and strategies to manage sensory needs effectively. These include creating sensory-friendly environments, using adaptive aids like fidget tools or noise-canceling headphones, and developing personalized sensory diets—structured activities designed to meet sensory needs and foster balance. Techniques such as grounding exercises, sensory breaks, and advocating for accommodations in work or school settings will also be covered.
