Does your child struggle with bright lights, loud noises, busy spaces, or certain textures? Do they sometimes seem overwhelmed - or the opposite, constantly seeking stimulation?
 
Understanding your child’s sensory world can feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. That’s where this workbook comes in.
 
Created by neurodiversity coach Gill Featherstone, this practical and compassionate guide helps parents uncover and understand their child’s sensory needs. Step by step, it explains the 8 senses (not just the traditional five!) and how they affect behaviour, emotions, and daily life.
 
Inside, you’ll find:
✨ Clear explanations of sensory processing and its role in neurodiversity
✨ Practical checklists and activities to help you identify your child’s unique sensory profile
✨ Tools for spotting early signs of “fizz” (overload or under-stimulation)
✨ Guidance on creating calming strategies, sensory-friendly spaces, and personalised “sensory diets”
✨ Reflection prompts to help you put learning into action
 
This isn’t just information—it’s an interactive, hands-on resource designed to empower you and your child. By the end, you’ll feel more confident recognising your child’s needs, supporting regulation, and creating an environment where they can truly thrive.
 
💡 Whether your child is autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, or simply processes the world a little differently, this workbook will help you move from confusion to clarity—and from stress to calm.
