Sleep is one of the most essential parts of a child’s development—and often one of the most challenging for parents. From bedtime battles to frequent night waking and early rising, disrupted sleep can affect the whole family’s well-being. If you’ve tried all the usual sleep advice and nothing seems to work, it may be time to look at things differently.
This workshop invites you to explore sleep through a sensory lens—understanding how your child’s unique sensory processing style might be making it difficult for them to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel calm and settled at bedtime.
Led by occupational therapists trained in Ayres Sensory Integration®, this session offers compassionate, practical support for parents who suspect their child’s sleep issues may be rooted in sensory sensitivities or regulation challenges.
You’ll learn:
- How sensory systems (like touch, movement, sound, and interoception) influence sleep readiness
- Why some children are “wired” at night, even when they’re tired
- How bedtime struggles are often linked to difficulty with transitions, regulation, or overstimulation
- What kinds of sensory strategies can help prepare the body and brain for sleep
- How to create a sensory-informed bedtime routine that works for your child
This workshop is especially helpful for parents of children who are neurodivergent (e.g., autistic or ADHD), anxious, or highly sensitive—but it’s valuable for any family dealing with ongoing sleep difficulties.
You’ll leave with:
- A better understanding of how your child’s brain and body work at night
- Gentle, realistic tools to support sleep and connection
- Ideas for adjusting your environment, routines, and expectations to reduce stress—for both you and your child
This is not a one-size-fits-all sleep training programme. It’s a sensory-informed, connection-focused approach to helping your child (and you) rest well and feel safe.
Let’s shift the bedtime story—from struggle to support, and from chaos to calm.
