Sensory Processing Workshop

A single workshop for parent/carers of children and young people who may have difficulties with Sensory Processing, whether they have received a diagnosis or not. This is a common factor for children and young people with Autism or ADHD.

These workshops are open to all parents/carers who live in Berkshire.

Topics covered include:

What is Sensory Processing?
Unpicking the science behind Sensory Processing
Sensory overload, sensory seeking behaviour – what does this mean?
Strategies to support child/young person better and manage levels of sensory arousal

This service was commissioned by the CCGs, part of the NHS in the west and east of Berkshire.

Please note: These workshops are only suitable for Parents/Carers. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide childcare, or accommodate children.

COST Free for Berkshire parent/carers. A number of paid for places are available at £15 per person for non-Berkshire parents/carers and £25 for practitioners. A refundable £5 booking deposit is required for all attendees (plus non-refundable Eventbrite booking fee).
DURATION 2 hour workshops
DELIVERED BY A specialist Occupational Therapist
FREQUENCY This course is typically delivered once a term, in different areas of Berkshire

I found the information that you gave to us very interesting. It was brilliant to hear your explanation about sensory issues and the behaviour we might see and how we might be able to help our children be in a better state and ready to learn at school.
