Would you like to have more tools in your self-regulation toolbox? We are all sensory beings who process the world in different ways. When we know what calms us down or alerts us we can use this knowledge to create additional tools in our toolbox of self-management strategies.
Come and learn more about the unique ways in which you process sensory information, explore and develop strategies for self-regulation and create your own sensory kit.
The sessions are presented in a small group face-to-face setting of up to 6 people and facilitated by Rebecca, an Occupational Therapist. We will do a range of paper-based and practical activities, with time for discussion. You can share as much or as little as you like in the group.
In Session 2 you will create a sensory kit to take home.
