Sensory Processing Advice
Do you need some sensory processing advice? Can't find a private Occupational Therapist?
Sensory regulation strategies and sensory diets can support people to do daily tasks and stay regulated and calm. Over or under-stimulated children and adults will struggle to engage fully with the people around them, daily tasks like eating, sleeping, brushing teeth, getting dressed and their learning or work. Some small changes can make big differences.
Communication and Behaviour Support
All behaviour is communication, as we increase a persons understanding and their ability to communicate and be understood by the people around them behaviour that challenges will decrease. Everyone is unique and finding the best communication and emotional regulation strategies is essential to improving everyone's quality of life.
I have over 12 years of experience working with a wide variety of children, mostly those with an Autism diagnosis as well as communication and severe learning difficulties. I would collect data to try and establish what the young person is trying to communicate with their behaviour and then work with the adults around them to teach the young person an alternative way to communicate their needs. I use person centred, creative approaches to ensure the process is positive for everyone.
