A Sensory Storm
To a casual observer:
It’s a routine shopping trip, shelves stocked with colorful packages, soft music playing, people moving casually through aisles. So why is your child having a meltdown??
To your child with autism:
The fluorescent lights feel too bright, blinding. The sounds are overwhelming: beeping scanners, shuffling carts, and conversations blending into a deafening roar. Endless rows of shelves close in like suffocating walls.
When a stranger accidentally brushes past, it’s too much for them and they lose all sense of control.
How we help:
Our skilled, empathetic therapists help you and your child make sense of incidents like these, with tools such as:
- Developing a visual shopping list with pictures
- Creating a calm-down kit with noise-canceling headphones
- Teaching gradual exposure techniques
- Practicing coping strategies for sensory overwhelm

The Wake-Up and Get-Ready Challenge
To a casual observer:
You're waking your child and helping them get dressed for school, but they are not cooperating.
To your child with autism:
The bright daylight flooding in when you open the curtains is blinding, making them burrow further under their covers. When it’s time to get dressed, the shirt collar feels choking — why can’t I just stay in my comfy pyjamas? And your repeated warnings that we have to make the bus cause rising anxiety.
How we help:
Our experienced therapists help morning routines become more manageable for your child with techniques like:
- Creating visual schedules to establish predictable morning sequences
- Introducing gentle wake-up strategies depending on your child’s sensory preferences
- Teaching transition warnings and giving adequate processing time
- Exploring how your child reacts to different fabrics and clothing styles
- Establishing positive reinforcement systems to celebrate successful routine steps
- Building in buffer time to reduce rushing and associated anxiety

Social Interaction Challenges
To a casual observer:
It’s recess time at school. Children play together, chatting, laughing, running and engaging in spontaneous games.
To your child with autism:
Confusing, unwritten social rules feel like a foreign language. Unexpected physical contact feels threatening and the loud, unpredictable noises cause them constant anxiety. Sometimes your child knows that kids are talking about them but doesn’t really understand what the subtle social cues and body language mean.
It feels safer to stick to daydreaming in a quiet corner of the yard.
How we help:
Our sensitive and skilled therapists help your child navigate social settings like these, building confidence and understanding by:
- Breaking down social interactions into clear, manageable steps
- Creating social story cards for playground scenarios
- Role-playing appropriate communication strategies
- Developing emotional regulation techniques
- Practicing turn-taking and shared play skills
