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.
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.
