Strategy Series #4 🌈 | Sensory Supports
Sometimes we don’t realise how much sensory input is affecting us until we’re already exhausted, irritable, overwhelmed, or finding it harder to think.
Sensory supports don’t have to be something we reach for only when things become too much. They can also be proactive tools that help an Autistic or ADHD nervous system stay within a more comfortable range throughout the day. 🧠✨
That might look like:
🎧 reducing noise or using headphones
🕶️ adjusting lighting or other visual input
💪 adding proprioceptive input through resistance or heavy work
🌿 building movement into the day
There’s no one sensory strategy that works for everyone — what feels regulating for one person may be uncomfortable for another. The goal is to notice what *your* nervous system responds to and build supports around that.
