Where do you want your OT career to take you next?

• Maybe it is greater confidence in your sensory clinical reasoning.
• Maybe it is deeper knowledge, stronger practice, teaching, leadership, or simply having more options available to you.
• Maybe you do not have the full picture yet, but you know you want to keep growing.

That is exactly why we created The SenseUp Approach Course (TSAC) Lite.

Our FINAL 2026 cohort starts 1 September.

TSAC Lite is our guided online foundation programme for paediatric Occupational Therapists who want to deepen their sensory knowledge, strengthen clinical reasoning and begin building towards the next stage of their professional growth.

The learning brings together key perspectives including:

• Sensory Integration and sensory processing
• Neuroscience and nervous system regulation
• Trauma-informed practice
• Polyvagal-informed thinking
• Neurodiversity-affirming practice
• Occupational science and participation
• Clinical reasoning that helps connect what you observe to what may be happening underneath the behaviour

And you are not simply working through content alone.

Your TSAC Lite experience includes:

• 5 Structured online learning modules
• 6 hours with Kerry across 6 live group calls
• Printable workbooks and practical resources
• Parent and educator resources where applicable
• Exclusive in-app TSAC community
• Extended learning access till May 2027
• BONUS 2027 SenseUp Workshop Discount
• 6, 9 or NEW 12-month payment plan options!

And this is the LAST cohort to access TSAC Lite at the current rate.

TSAC Lite → TSAC Certification → 2027 Master Trainer Program → Certified SenseUp Trainer

In 2027, SenseUp will pilot our first Master Trainer Program, creating a pathway for OTs who want to move towards teaching, leadership and training opportunities within SenseUp.

If you have already completed TSAC, send this to an OT colleague you think would benefit.

If you have been considering joining, this is your moment.

Start building towards where you want your OT career to go next.

SenseUp next masterclass is TONIGHT!! Attend live for free bonus handouts. Autism through the SenseUo Lens: Sensory Processing, Autonomic Regulation and Neuroaffirming Practice

23/08/2026

ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, LET’S BUILD A SHARED LENS 🇿🇦 : Speech-Language Therapists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Behaviour Practitioners and other Paediatric Allied Health Professionals, this workshop has been designed with you in mind.

In this reel, Kerry shares why Sensory in Action: A Shared Lens is relevant beyond occupational therapy.

During the morning workshop, we’ll explore:
• The autonomic nervous system and what different states may look like in therapeutic and educational settings
• Polyvagal Theory and trauma-informed practice
• Sensory processing and integration through a neurodiversity-affirming lens
• The relationship between sensory needs, emotional regulation, learning, relationships and participation
• How regulation, interoception, movement, communication and behaviour may connect
• How to communicate and collaborate more clearly across professional disciplines

The goal is not to turn every profession into an OT.

It is to create a stronger shared understanding around the child, while each professional continues to work within their own scope.

You’ll also learn alongside OTs and Educators, creating valuable opportunities for interprofessional discussion and connection.

1 DAY TO GO - TOMORROW: AUTISM THROUGH THE SENSEUP LENS

We’re almost ready to go LIVE.

Tomorrow Kerry brings together the sensory, autonomic and relational pieces of the clinical picture to explore what may be happening when:

• strategies do not carry over
• presentation changes across environments
• regulation and participation fluctuate
• there seems to be more going on than the diagnosis alone explains

This is not another list of autism strategies.

It is a Masterclass designed to strengthen the questions we ask, what we observe and how we understand the child in front of us.

23/08/2026

Preparation for a knowingly tricky event. A haircut, medical appointment or community event may contain unfamiliar touch, sound, waiting, social demands and loss of control.

Preparing an autistic child should not mean rehearsing how to tolerate whatever happens.

Useful preparation gives the nervous system information and the child meaningful control: photos or video of the space, a clear sequence, sensory options, a trusted adult, an agreed signal to pause, permission to leave, reduced waiting, control over touch where possible, and a recovery plan afterwards.

Success may mean completing part of the occupation safely. It may mean gathering information for the next attempt. It may mean the child communicates no and the adult listens.

Predictability supports access, but the child may still communicate no.

Autism in community and healthcare occupations deserves the same clinical depth.

Supporting co-regulation in a way the parents feels empowered. Parents are often told that their calm will help their child regulate. That can be true and still land as one more impossible demand on an exhausted family.

A parent’s activation may reflect years of sleep disruption, public judgement, school conflict, financial pressure and constant anticipation of the next difficult transition.

A trauma-informed approach supports the adult without making them responsible for controlling the child’s nervous system.

Practical OT support may include explaining the child’s sensory and autonomic patterns, reducing shame, simplifying the recovery plan, identifying which adult can take over when capacity is low, and changing environmental demands that keep both nervous systems under pressure.

Co-regulation is relational. It is not a performance standard for parents.

The parent-child dynamic belongs in the whole clinical picture |

EDUCATORS & EDUCATION SUPPORT STAFF, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU 🇿🇦

Teachers, Learning Support Staff, School Counsellors and educators working alongside children with sensory and regulatory differences, Kerry shares a little more about what you can expect from Sensory in Action: A Shared Lens.

This workshop is designed to help you better understand what may be sitting beneath behaviour, learning and participation.

You’ll explore:
• How nervous system state can influence a child’s capacity to engage and learn
• Sensory processing and regulation through a neurodiversity-affirming lens
• How behaviour may communicate safety, sensory load or regulation needs
• What you can observe, adapt and support within the learning environment
• When collaboration or referral to other professionals may be helpful
• How a shared language between Educators, OTs and Allied Health Professionals can create more consistent support around the child

And importantly, you’ll be learning with OTs and Allied Health Professionals, not in a separate education silo.

Clinical reasoning develops in conversation, not isolation. A complex paediatric case rarely becomes clearer because one more PDF was downloaded. Clarity often comes when an OT/AHP explains the case aloud, another clinician notices the missing context, and the group tests the interpretation against the child’s nervous system, sensory profile, relationships and occupations.

That is why The SenseUp Approach Course (TSAC Lite) includes case discussion, reflection and an OT community alongside the learning content.

The goal is not to hand you the answers. That does not adequately prepare you for the next unique case on your caseload.
It is to strengthen the way you build, question and defend your own clinical reasoning.

We don't just Educate at SenseUp, we Empower OTs and AHPs!

Next Cohort starts 1 September.
