Specialist Occupational Therapy & Sensory Development for Children
Is your child struggling?
Do you wonder if occupational therapy could help?
When everyday life is difficult for your child, it isn't always obvious why - or where to go for help.
Sensoryflex provides specialist Occupational Therapy for children and young people
with sensory, movement, coordination, regulation and developmental needs.
We help families understand what may be contributing to their child's difficulties
and work out what support could make a meaningful difference.
When everyday things feel harder than they should
Children do not always fit neatly into a diagnosis or checklist.
Sometimes you simply know that everyday life seems harder for your child than it should be.
You might notice that your child:
- Becomes overwhelmed by noise, touch, busy places or everyday demands
- Constantly seeks movement, crashes, climbs or struggles to sit still
- Finds it difficult to regulate their energy, emotions or behaviour
- Struggles with coordination, balance or confidence in movement
- Finds dressing, eating, handwriting or everyday activities unusually difficult
- Is struggling to cope with school or participate in everyday family life
Sometimes it is obvious that a child needs support.
Sometimes it is much harder to work out what is going on.
That is where Occupational Therapy can help.
Understanding the child behind the difficulty
Occupational Therapy looks beyond the difficulty itself to understand what may be making everyday activities harder.
At Sensoryflex, we have particular expertise in
sensory processing, sensory integration, regulation, movement, coordination and neurodevelopment.
We look at your child's individual strengths and needs and consider how their sensory and motor development,
environment and everyday demands may be affecting their ability to participate.
Support may involve specialist assessment, sensory integration therapy, movement and play-based approaches,
practical strategies, environmental adaptations and working with parents, schools and other professionals.
Our aim is not to make children appear more 'typical'.
It is to help them feel more regulated, more confident, and more able
to participate in the things that matter to them.

I don't normally get much out of training sessions like this, but this course was excellent and I learnt loads of new things.

It was lovely to see how quickly you built a rapport with my son, and how his confidence built as the session went on. He was very happy and buzzy when he got home!
I’ve been meaning to get in touch to say thank you very much for the very detailed and personalised report and recommendations for my son.
It’s honestly one of the best reports I’ve seen, and I really appreciate your time in putting it together.
A.H.
Your support this far has been invaluable.
I honestly don't think my daughter would be going into school if your support hadn't been in place.
