When the senses don’t cooperate
We all experience sounds, touch and movement differently. For some children the difference is so large that it makes dressing, eating, play and learning hard. Sensory processing assessment and play-based therapy, as well as our Snoezelen room, can help a lot.
This page is informational and does not provide a diagnosis. Every child develops individually.

What do parents ask most?
Does this mean my child has autism?
Not necessarily. Sensory difficulties also occur in children without autism. The assessment shows what is behind them.
