𝐎𝐧-𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲/𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥/𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬. Reaching more families is a top priority for me.

There is only one of me (at the moment!) and I am thinking of new ways to be as effective as possible for more families.

I have started on-line sensory/emotional/well-being support and post-diagnostic support packages.

What I love about the packages is the following:

1. I get to really support the families. Many hope that a report will 'change things' for their children at school/with a LA but this is often not the case.
2. The package can include school advocacy directly from myself. I still write a short report based on sensory and interoception profiles and parent consultation but the package includes school advocacy and MyPlan support if chosen. I feel I am doing more for families this way, instead of a long report the time is invested in different ways
3. There is time and space for the families to feel heard, held and acknowledged.
4. Their children are spoken of in an affirming way

The comments I've had so far:

• 'We are focusing more on soothing. Our son has noticed and has remarked “we argue less now”.
• I understand their need for autonomy at a deeper level
• 'Nothing has made sense since our daughter was born (8years old). It ALL makes sense now (we were discussing her sensory profile and need for autonomy).
• 'You have made all the difference in our child's school day'.
• ‘It's helped me play and connect with my child more, which is vital as we cannot get out due to their anxiety'.

A new way of working to reach more families! Post diagnostic on-line support services.

I was so happy to hear a Dad, in our first online support session say about his 8 year old year daughter: 'It has not made sense for 8 years but now it ALL makes sense now'. We were talking about her unique sensory profile and her need for predictability.

1. Unlocking Your Child’s Sensory Profile – Understanding & Supporting Their Preferences
