We listened and provided what the NHS asked for. "The need to move beyond the idea that sensory support sits with one champion, one facilitator, or one inclusion worker," and "at an affordable entry level option for whole staff awareness training".
If services are going to become truly sensory aware, this has to be understood across the whole NHS workforce.
That is why we created this short, self-directed online learning for all staff, from reception teams and healthcare assistants to psychiatrists, paediatricians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, doctors, and wider multidisciplinary colleagues.
At just £12 per person for NHS staff, this course offers an accessible universal foundation. It helps staff think more carefully about how sensory systems shape interactions, communication, participation, distress, safety, and care across all settings.
This matters not only for autistic people or people with neurodiversity, but also for people living with trauma, stroke, MS, mental health challenges, sensory loss, neurological change, and the effects of ageing or illness.
Importantly, this learning also supports sensory specialist AHPs.
It does not replace specialist assessment, clinical reasoning, or intervention. Instead, it helps teams better understand the specialist role, strengthens shared language across services, and creates a more informed foundation for the person, enabling specialist input to be better embedded in everyday care.
The course includes a short webinar, reflective questions linked to practice, downloadable pocket guides, a sensory lens for everyday interactions, and a starter guide to Sensory Ladders®.
Because sensory awareness is not the responsibility of one role.
It is everyone’s business.
