Show Notes

In our final podcast (for now!) Jill McCanney, one of the Centre’s specialist occupational therapists, will discuss the challenges which personal care activities may create for many autistic people. The use of visual supports, calming strategies and desensitisation will be explained during the discussion which will focus on the impact of sensory differences on participation in self-care tasks and strategies which can reduce anxiety and support engagement.
