We’d love to help you understand your child’s unique sensory preferences and needs.
To do this, we carry out a holistic, in-depth assessment of your child, looking at how they are performing in all their daily activities (playing, dressing, eating, toileting, washing, grooming, learning, accessing their community, etc.) and how any underlying difficulties they may have are affecting their ability to participate independently and happily.
We meet with you to share your child’s assessment feedback and a to create a therapy plan for next steps, which we collaborate with you on. We always want to ensure the strategies feel like a light hearted and sustainable way to improve your child’s daily routine.
We can also provide a report with a detailed analysis of their strengths and needs, which you can submit with your child’s EHC Plan application or with their annual review. Reports include clear recommendations of the provision and support they require to meet their potential and their goals.
We have extensive experience navigating the Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan system and can also recommend other highly experienced therapists if your child needs assessment and support in other areas (for example, with their communication skills). We currently have a 100% success rate with EHC plan applications, and all of our clients have received the provision we have recommended from their Local Authority.
Just email hello@SensoryChildren.co.uk and request a complimentary phone call to discuss how we can help you get the right support for your child – so they can enjoy learning and thrive at school -and in their lives!
If you’d like to get to know us before booking an assessment or have some immediate help, we have a course for you.
We designed a short course about best practice in supporting sensory needs to help parents, teachers and other professionals. With extensive experience making life changing progress for children with sensory needs, we have discovered that this is what everyone needs to know!

“We have embraced all the guidance you gave us, and are already noticing some improvements which has sparked much optimism! The advice about managing meltdowns has already reduced the frequency and severity of meltdowns – it’s quite astonishing. Knowing we have a strategy for all the main stress points – and can generally take pressure off in the areas we’ve been panicking about – is fantastic. We are giving him much more regular inputs of / opportunities for meaningful sensory input – every few hours – and have ordered a few new bits to support this…
I’m building new things into his evening routine, which he really enjoys. Tonight we sat at the dinner table with a big shared platter, and he served himself a range of food. We used all the strategies you recommended… This was a remarkably peaceful and sane dinnertime! Finally understanding what is happening with him is an immense relief. What you explained makes so many things fall into place, and I’m hungry to learn more!”
