The Sensory Occupational Therapy team works with children whose sensory needs make day-to-day tasks more difficult. They work closely with education and health to ensure adults working with children and young people have the skills they need to recognise their sensory needs. They work alongside other professionals to adapt environments and implement strategies to meet sensory needs. This helps support a calm environment and encourages attention, participation, and independence. They also offer a training package for parents and professionals, free of charge, on their website below.
