Participation Changes Everything!

At Sensory Integration Education, we are proud to be supporting Royal College of Occupational Therapists Occupational Therapy Week 2026.

Participation is at the heart of everything we do. Through our education and training for therapists, lifelong learning opportunities, and our services for parents and schools, we work to support people with sensory differences to do the things they want and need to do.

This week, we celebrate the power of occupational therapy to make meaningful participation possible for everyone.

This recent scoping review examined the proposed relationship between sensory processing and idiopathic toe walking (ITW) in children.

The review identified 13 studies investigating sensory and sensorimotor function across domains including vibration perception, tactile processing, proprioception, vestibular and visual processing, and parent-reported sensory behaviours.

Although the meta-analysis of vibration perception thresholds did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference (p = .12), parent-reported sensory processing measures showed significant differences between children with ITW and typically developing peers (p < .0068).

Overall, the findings suggest an association between ITW and differences in sensory processing and sensorimotor function.

🔎 Clinical consideration: Assessment of sensory and sensorimotor function may provide valuable additional information when evaluating children with ITW, while recognising that sensory differences may vary substantially between individuals.

🎃👻 Why do spooky sounds feel scarier at Halloween? It’s all in your brain!

New research from Carnegie Mellon University, published in Nature Communications, reveals that our brains don’t just process sensory information — they interpret it based on context and expectations. 🧠

That creaking floorboard or unexpected touch might seem terrifying in a haunted house but barely noticeable at home. The sensation is real; it’s how our brain interprets it that makes the difference! 🔬

This Halloween, remember: sometimes, the scariest part isn’t what you sense — it’s how your brain makes sense of it! 👀🕸️

🍽️ How does sensory processing influence our relationship with food?

Sensory differences can have a significant impact on eating behaviours, food restriction and the development of eating disorders, particularly for autistic individuals.

Join us live on Monday for our next LLP webinar:
🧠 Autism, Sensory Processing and Eating Disorders

Drawing on lived experience and over 20 years of professional practice supporting autistic individuals, your host Rachael Thompson will explore:
🔹 The relationship between sensory processing and restrictive eating.
🔹 The factors that can contribute to and maintain eating difficulties.
🔹 The impact of co-occurring conditions, including anxiety and OCD.
🔹 How a biopsychosocial, neurodiversity-affirming approach can support assessment, understanding and recovery.

A valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of the complex relationship between autism, sensory processing and eating disorders.

📅 Monday 2 November | 4pm – 6pm (UK time)
💻 Live online

This new study explored social participation among autistic and non-autistic college students, examining participation rates, satisfaction, motivations, perceived barriers, and lived experiences through a person–environment–occupation (PEO) framework.

Findings revealed no statistically significant differences between groups in participation rates, satisfaction, or perceived barriers. However, qualitative findings highlighted differences in lived experiences: autistic students more frequently described internal barriers, including anxiety and difficulty identifying activities, while non-autistic students emphasised interpersonal challenges. Overall, 62% of participants reported at least one barrier to social participation.

These findings highlight the importance of looking beyond participation outcomes to understand individual experiences and PEO fit.

🧡 As ADHD Awareness Month comes to a close, let’s celebrate the power of understanding our sensory differences!

What happens when we stop seeing sensory experiences as separate challenges and start looking at how they all connect? 💭

In her insightful guest blog, ‘Discovering My Sensory Rhythm: An AuDHD Woman’s Journey to Self-Understanding’, AuDHD advocate and Sensory Inclusion Facilitator Teodora Byrne of NDwise Hub Consulting shares her personal journey of discovering her sensory rhythm as a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman.

✨ Her reflections remind us that inclusion starts with understanding the whole person and creating environments that support different sensory needs.

This article explores knee proprioception in children with spastic cerebral palsy, highlighting differences in joint position sense and the ability to maintain knee position.

A new study conducted by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Astrid Lindgren Children’s Hospital, published in BMC Pediatrics, found that children with unilateral cerebral palsy demonstrated greater errors when reproducing knee positions, while children with cerebral palsy showed greater movement fluctuations when maintaining a passively positioned knee angle compared with typically developing children.

These findings highlight the distinct aspects of proprioceptive function involved in movement control and emphasise the importance of further research into proprioceptive assessment and its potential implications for individualised rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy.

This new systematic review and meta-analysis provides further evidence of a significant and robust association between (SP) and (EF) in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders and at-risk conditions. Synthesising findings from 30 peer-reviewed studies, the review identified a medium overall effect, with SP measures accounting for a substantial proportion of variance in EF. The findings also suggest that assessment modality influences the strength of this relationship, with performance-based measures demonstrating stronger associations than questionnaire-based approaches. Collectively, the evidence highlights the interdependence of sensory processing and executive functioning and supports the consideration of both domains within comprehensive assessment and intervention planning.
