Research has shown that when tasks are infused with emotional relevance or immediate payoff, people with ADHD perform significantly better when novelty, urgency, and rewards are motivating factors.

And we also unpack the Cascading Effects of Sensory Development, a model helps change the way we approach sensory issues for young people with autism.

We know that we are sensory beings, so the SENSES model uses this to guide others to understand how they can use their sensory systems to change how they are feeling and what they can do on a day-to-day basis. 

This episode covers the ins and outs of the SENSES model, what it means, how it was developed and how it can be applied to diverse needs. From Sensory Integration to Support and Socialisaiton, the SENSES model aims to bring a Neuroaffirming model to Occupational Therapy Clinical Practice.
