Mothers' Workshops
Understanding & Managing ASD Sensory Overload
Many autistic children experience the world differently. Everyday sounds, lights, clothing, smells, crowds, or unexpected changes can become overwhelming, leading to distress and challenging behaviors. This workshop teaches mothers how sensory processing affects daily life and how to recognize the early signs of sensory overload before it reaches a crisis point. Together, we'll explore practical sensory supports that can be implemented both at home and in the community.
