Chapter 1

What a child with sensory processing differences usually needs

  1. A day arranged around what the child can tolerate, not around the timetable alone

  2. The occupational therapist's sensory plan carried into home and school

  3. Quiet routes through noisy places: assemblies, canteens, crowds, traffic

  4. Adults who read the early signs before the overload

Chapter 2

How a shadow teacher or special educator helps

A shadow teacher or special educator for a child with sensory processing differences carries the occupational therapist's plan into the classroom and the home, manages transitions and busy moments, and helps the school make small changes that let the child stay in the room.

Chapter 3 · Where our role ends

Sensory assessments and sensory plans are written by occupational therapists. Our professionals implement them; they do not assess or prescribe.

Chapter 4

Your child's team, working as one

With your consent, we build the child-support profile with the school and with any therapist, psychologist or paediatrician already involved, so the professional arrives knowing the plan rather than guessing at it. Monthly reports go to you, and to them if you wish.
