Sensory Essentials

A Series of 3 Training Sessions for Parents

This is training commissioned by SHINE for Autism and provided free to parents and carers. 

Sensory Top Tips - Tuesday 22nd September 6.30-8.30pm

The Power of Proprioception - Tuesday 20th October 6.30-8.30pm

All about Interoception - Tuesday 17th November 6.30-8.30pm

There is so much information out there about 'sensory' (which is great) but it can feel overwhelming at times. So we start with my Sensory Top Tips where you will learn my winning sensory formula for a more regulated child and happier home.

The second workshop, The Power of Proprioception is basically a chance for me as an autistic person, to talk about my special interest for the evening! Proprioception is one of my passions and I hope to convince you too, ha ha! Seriously though, once we understand the role of proprioception in regulation and motor skills, we can make small changes to the daily lives of our children (and ourselves) than can have such as difference.

The final workshop is called All About Interoception. Interoception is our internal body sense. When we have difficulties making sense of internal body signals we can struggle to know when we are hungry, thirsty or full, when we need to go the toilet, whether we are too hot or cold etc. We can also get confusing signals and struggle to understand pain signals and our emotions. The workshop explains more about interoception, the signs that your child could have difficulties and some basic things you can do at home to start to help them develop better interoceptive awareness. 

Important: 

• It is much better to attend these sessions live on Zoom as you will then be able to take part in the question and answer sessions (the last 30-45 mins), which parents tell me is extremely helpful. It is also ideal to attend all 3 sessions, however they are standalone topics so if there is one you cannot attend, then please do not worry.
  
  
• The day after each session, you will be emailed a recording of the training. You will only have access to the recording for 30 days and only the training is recorded, not the question and answer session.
