Sensory Assessments

Understanding your child’s sensory world

Our Sensory Assessments help parents, carers, and professionals understand how a child’s sensory system affects their daily life — from focus and emotions to comfort and connection.

Every child processes sensory information differently. For some, certain sounds, movements, or touch can feel overwhelming or hard to manage. For others, it can be difficult to notice or respond to what’s going on around them - our assessments help make sense of these patterns and what they mean for a child’s regulation and wellbeing.

Each assessment includes clear, practical recommendations that can be used at home, in school, and within care settings to support regulation, confidence, and connection.

Whether you’re a parent, foster carer, adoptive parent, or residential care professional, our sensory assessments offer insight and strategies to help children feel more comfortable in their bodies and supported in their world.

Assessment includes:

Checklist

Parents/carer questionnaire to answer  questions on areas of concern, history and strengths for child.
