Sensory processing and using the Sensory Toolkit

A sensory toolkit is a collaboratively designed set of sensory strategies that can help young people regulate arousal, reduce distress, and support increased engagement and sustained participation in their daily life.

The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide an overview of sensory processing, outline ways to explore sensory preferences with a young person and offer guidance on using Orygen’s Sensory Toolkit to support young people.
