Creating Supportive Environments for SEND Children

This special episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast is brought to you in partnership with the Tameside Umbrella Parent Carer Forum and is created specifically for parents and carers who are just beginning their journey with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

If terms like sensory processing, sensory seeking, or sensory overload feel unfamiliar or overwhelming — you’re not alone, and this episode is the perfect place to start.

In this episode, I’ll break down:

✅ What “sensory” means in relation to children’s development and behaviour

✅ Why sensory experiences are so important — especially for neurodivergent children

✅ How to start recognising your child’s unique sensory profile

✅ Simple, practical tips for creating a calming and supportive sensory-friendly environment at home

✅ Ways to use sensory strategies to reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation

✅ When and how to seek additional support or professional input

You’ll also hear about some real-life examples from families I’ve worked with, and I’ll share evidence-based information in a friendly, accessible way that puts your confidence front and centre.

Whether your child has a diagnosis or is on a waiting list — or even if you just have a feeling something’s different — this episode will give you the knowledge and reassurance you need to take the next step forward.

✨ Listen now and discover how understanding sensory needs can be a powerful key to unlocking connection, calm, and confidence in your parenting journey.
