About sensory specialists
Sensory processing difficulties are common in children with autism, ADHD, and other developmental conditions. A child who covers their ears in busy environments, avoids certain foods because of texture, seeks constant movement, or struggles to tolerate clothing labels may be experiencing sensory processing differences that a specialist can help address.
If your child is extremely fussy about food textures, finds haircuts or nail-cutting distressing, seeks or avoids certain sensory experiences intensely, has difficulty with balance or body awareness, or frequently becomes overwhelmed in busy or noisy environments, a sensory assessment can provide real clarity. Understanding your child's sensory profile often explains behaviour that previously seemed puzzling.
SEND services in London
London is served by 32 borough councils, each with their own SEND provision and Local Offer. The quality and availability of services varies significantly between boroughs — some have well-funded SEND teams while others have faced significant cuts. Families in London often benefit from a wide choice of private practitioners, though costs tend to be higher than other parts of the UK.
Typical costs
A full sensory processing assessment costs between £300 and £600 privately. Follow-up therapy sessions are typically £60 to £100 per hour. NHS provision for sensory difficulties is limited and often only available for children with a diagnosed condition. Many specialist OTs offer school visits to advise on classroom adaptations.
