Senses and sensibilities: An inside view on sensory issues, what they look like, avoiding them, and working through that ones that occur.

The aim of this Life Skills course is to enable susceptible individuals and those close to them to minimize the effect of or avoid such situations, thereby enabling those who have these sensitivities to take advantage of opportunities that might otherwise be too overwhelming to otherwise even consider.

Many persons on the autistic spectrum experience sensory stimuli with such variation that it can either be completely causing extreme discomfort, or on the other hand, be undetectable, and/or be so distorted as to be useless. All of these situations can be overwhelming, and at times dangerous. The aim of this course is to enable susceptible individuals and those close to them to minimize the effect of or avoid such situations, thereby enabling those who have these sensitivities to take advantage of opportunities that might otherwise be too overwhelming to otherwise even consider.

This practical course looks at how sensory dysfunction impacts daily living for people on the autism spectrum. Ideas for accommodation in the home, school, work, and the community will be presented as well as tools for self-accommodation as needed.
