Sensory Processing

The vast majority of children and young people with impairments and disabilities will have some sensory challenges which can impact their development and behaviour.

This library (produced by specialist occupational therapist, Catherine Williams and specialist physiotherapist Stephanie Wheen), has lots of ideas, activities and games to help our children modulate, stimulate and calm their sensory systems.
