Sensory Processing: A Free Pre‑Recorded Workshop 🎥

At NEST, we know that sensory processing plays a big role in everyday life.

For many neurodivergent children, young people and adults, the world can feel loud, bright, busy or overwhelming.

Sounds, textures, smells, movement and visual input can all be processed differently, and this can impact wellbeing, behaviour and daily activities.

Sensory processing differences are not something to fix.

They are part of how someone experiences and understands the world 💚

What Is Sensory Processing? 🧠

Sensory processing is how our nervous system receives, organises and responds to sensory information, including:

• Sound

• Touch

• Movement and balance

• Sight

• Smell and taste

• Internal body sensations

  
  

When sensory input feels too much, too little, or unpredictable, it can affect regulation, communication, focus and emotional responses.

This doesn’t mean someone is “overreacting” or being difficult. It means their sensory system needs understanding and support.

That’s Why We’ve Created a Free Pre‑Recorded Workshop on Sensory Processing 🌈

This on‑demand workshop is designed to help build understanding, reduce stigma and support neuro-affirming approaches to sensory needs.

What You’ll Learn ✨

In this three part workshop, we’ll explore:

• What sensory processing is and how it shows up in daily life

• Common sensory differences experienced by neurodivergent people

• How sensory overload and under‑stimulation can impact regulation and behaviour

• Practical, compassionate ways to support sensory needs at home, in school and in the community

• How to create environments that feel safer, calmer and more accessible
