Become a Sensory-Informed SLP in Early Intervention

Sensory processing differences are common in autistic children, and for SLPs working with toddlers and preschoolers, those differences can have a significant impact on regulation, engagement, interaction, and communication during therapy. But as SLPs, not OTs, what do we need to understand about sensory processing, and how can we appropriately support a child’s sensory needs while staying within our own scope of practice? In this episode, Laura and Macy discuss what it means to become a sensory-informed SLP and why this is an important part of providing neurodiversity-affirming intervention for young children.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why sensory processing belongs on an EI SLP’s radar
  • How sensory differences can affect participation and communication
  • Why a sensory-informed approach is part of neurodiversity-affirming practice
  • Ways to become a more sensory-informed SLP
  • How to recognize sensory dysregulation during therapy
  • Ways to support sensory needs while remaining within the SLP’s scope of practice

Overview

  • Welcome and Introduction to the topic… Becoming more sensory-based and sensory-informed

  • Why sensory processing matters; what it is; autism and sensory differences

  • Regulation and co-regulation

  • Reframing “behavior” as sensory response and shifting to asking questions about a child’s nervous system

  • Sensory-friendly environment strategies

    • lighting
    • sound
    • visual clutter
    • seating and movement
    • tactile input / sensory bins

  • Adapting yourself as the therapist: voice, appearance, smell

  • How to interpret emotions and teach language for body states, developmentally

  • Low arousal vs. hyperarousal; zones of regulation; universal regulators

  • Sensory training, scope, and balancing sensory vs. behavior

  • Next steps

  • Summary

Learning Objectives
  • Briefly explain why SLPs need to understand sensory processing
  • Describe 3 different signs of sensory dysregulation you may observe during therapy sessions with a young child
