Sensory Regulation Support
At Allay Occupational Therapy, we help children understand and respond to the world around them through sensory regulation support.
Our neurodiverse-affirming, strengths-based approach empowers children to feel safe, calm, and connected in their everyday environments.
How We Support You
Our occupational therapists work with children and families to build awareness and strategies around sensory needs by supporting:
- Understanding Sensory Preferences – identifying which types of sensory input help your child feel calm, alert, or overwhelmed.
- Emotional Regulation – using sensory strategies to manage big feelings and transitions.
- Movement & Body Awareness – building grounding activities that support postural control and focus.
- Adaptation of Environments – creating sensory-friendly spaces at home, school, or in the community.
- Co-Regulation & Family Support – empowering caregivers with practical tools to support daily routines.
Who Can Benefit?
- Neurodivergent children (e.g., autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences).
- Children who experience meltdowns, shutdowns, or difficulty calming after stimulation.
- Children with behavioural, attention, or emotional regulation challenges.
- Families wanting to understand and support their child’s sensory world.
What to Expect
We begin with a collaborative, play-based assessment that explores your child’s sensory profile.
Sessions are engaging and guided by the child’s interests, with a focus on sustainable strategies that fit your family’s lifestyle.
At Allay, we empower children to regulate with confidence—supporting independence, participation, and wellbeing every step of the way.
