Sensory Processing and Sensitivity Training Course
Sensory Processing and Sensitivity Overview
Our sensory processing and sensitivity training course explores sensory processing difficulties, including how hypersensitivity (over-responsivity) and hyposensitivity (under-responsivity) affect each of the senses.
Through two insightful units, learners will examine the impact of sensory challenges on day-to-day life and gain guidance on effective support strategies. The course is ideal for health and social care professionals working with individuals who may be neurodivergent, including those with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder.
CPD-certified and mobile-friendly, this course contributes to compliance and professional development.
