Course overview

What does your Sensory Regulation Course cover?

1. Introduction to Occupational Therapy and the birth of the Parent Health Hub

The question that most Occupational Therapists (OTs) get asked… “What even is an Occupational Therapist?” Here we learn what the profession specialises in and how the fit between Occupational Therapy and parents' health align.

2. Introduction to your Sensory Regulation Course

Insight into how this course can make a difference to you and your family.

3. Understanding our Sensory Systems

This section begins to break down what is going on at a neurological level for us constantly without even having awareness of it.

4. Regulation

We need to understand what regulation is before we can address those feelings of overwhelm and frustration.

5. Outbursts and Frustration

This is the module that starts to bring all that you have learnt so far together and help us acknowledge that we are all humans with human behaviours.

6. An introduction to co-regulation

Here we start to learn how we are neurologically connected with others around us. We learn how everyone co-regulates, whatever their age. However, an important part of this module is learning about our children’s neurological development and the impact that can have on us as parents.

6.a The reflection that helps everything make sense

A lightbulb moment awaits…

7. Addressing feelings of guilt

An important part of this course is supporting parents with feelings of guilt. This module zones in on any weight of guilt by explaining our behaviour and reactions as parents in a new light. This module also includes information to help you know that we are not required to be on top form 100% of the time and starts to direct us to what we can do if we do have an off moment.
