“This valuable resource has been shared with me and I wanted all families to be aware of it.
‘Let’s Make Sense Together’ is a free resource that anyone can use. It provides information and support to children and young people with sensory processing differences.
Here you can find a series of videos to help parents, carers,  who support children with sensory processing differences. You’ll also find helpful advice sheets and links to other support and information.
The information has been created by local therapists.

The information can also be useful for general parenting and can be used to support all children,. Not just those with sensory processing differences. 

I hope you find it useful”
