So what are sensory needs?
Sensory processing and integration issues (or sensory needs) are how we process and respond to sensory information from our environment and from inside our body. This makes it fundamental to how we behave in everyday life. Our processing might make us have extreme or fluctuating responses to everyday stimuli like sounds, textures, or movements. It might make us fidgety, noisy, distractible, anxious, unconfident or clumsy. It can have a profound effect on our faith too.
Sensory processing issues are often more significant in people with ADHD, Autism, DCD, Learning Disability, Anxiety or PDA, but are present in everyone in varying levels.
Sensory Needs in the Church
We want to make church life as accessible as possible for everyone.
If you're in leadership, by having a deeper dive into how sensory needs affect others, you can be even more effective in meeting those needs and help people thrive in the life of your church.
If you are living with sensory needs, then we can empower you to do what you can even if your church is still on it's journey to fully support you.
For Leadership & Teams
Be supported to create a sensory environment that nourishes all visitors to your church and members in it.

Learn how you can support yourself or your family's sensory needs best.
Learn MoreSensory needs look different for everyone.
And everyone processes their sensory needs in unique ways.
These are common signs that someone may need additional sensory support.
We all experience the world through our senses. Some people may feel overwhelmed, bored, or excluded due to lack of sensory input, too much input, fear of the environment, or no where to go to help them regroup and de-stress.
- Do you have restless members during service?
- Do family members take it in turns to attend church instead of coming together?
- Are disruptive members inadvertently excluded?
- Are you concerned that people are staying away from church due to sensory needs?
This 3 hour online 'On Demand' programme is split into bitesize chunks!
It helps Christians identify the sensory struggles individuals, families and leaders face in corporate worship and in the life of the church, and present solutions according to needs identified, finances and space available to each individual congregation and family.
