An Introduction to Sensory Differences

Welcome to our module, an ‘Introduction to Sensory Differences’.

This is the fourth module of the series, following on from modules on introductions to neurodiversity, autism and communication.

We have put together this information for families of autistic children, to help parents and carers understand their child’s needs. Should you require further support with understanding and supporting your child’s sensory differences, an occupational therapist may be able help you further.
