The resources on this webpage have been developed by our occupational therapy team to support you to have a greater understanding of the child's sensory processing needs. They will provide you with a reference tool for beginning to implement sensory strategies and make changes to the environment to support the child's participation in everyday activities.

The 'action plan' resource is designed to guide you in your understanding of the child's sensory processing needs. It encourages you to reflect on your learning from the sensory processing training video to consider which sensory system may be causing difficulties, and how it impacts the child's daily life.

By taking the time to complete the action plan and consider the child's sensory processing needs in more detail, you will have a much better understanding of the most appropriate strategies to try with them, and crucially, how to know whether or not the strategies are working!

Remember, that 'Sensory' isn't generally a stand-alone difficulty; it forms part of a bigger picture. When a child shows distress within a particular task or activity, this is generally the tip of the iceberg. We encourage you to spend time observing and reflecting on the child's difficulties as well as paying attention to their environment, the demands placed on them, their motor skills to complete tasks, their mood on the day, how much sleep they've had, as well as their communication abilities.

The action plan is designed to be used with both the early years setting or school and home and we strongly advise you to work together to complete this document. Working together will ensure you are working towards the same shared goals and outcomes for the child, with a sound basic knowledge of the current difficulties that are impacting the child/young person's independence or engagement in tasks at this time.

The resource pack for the early years setting/school and home have been designed to support your knowledge in relation to some of the common challenges experienced by children who have differences in their sensory processing. The pack should be used alongside the online training video to help deepen your knowledge and act as a reference point.

The advice for the home and early years setting/school resource packs vary slightly in order to suit the setting and environment; however, the outline of the difficulties remains the same.

About the Healthy Child Programme
Overview
The Healthy Child Programme (HCP) is an elearning programme for all healthcare professionals working with pregnant mothers and children aged 0-5 years.

It is the first programme in the Healthy Child Programme 0-18 series of elearning resources, which includes the Healthy School Child Programme (5-12 years) and Adolescent Health Programme (12-18 years) and supports the implementation of the Healthy Child Programme - Pregnancy and the first five years of life framework and covers a range of topics related to child health and health promotion.

This resource is suitable for nurses, midwives, GPs, paediatricians and obstetricians and the child health team as part of blended learning for those in training or wishing to update their knowledge and skills.

The programme is not intended to replace core learning or textbooks on these subjects, but rather to focus on their impact on the health and wellbeing of toddlers and young children. The programme equally is not designed to address in any detail the specialist needs of children with very complex problems.

What it covers?
The Healthy Child Programme covers a range of topics related to child health and health promotion. Combining expertise from a range of professions, the programme aims to provide preventative services tailored to the individual needs of children and families and acts as a best practice guide for children's services. Based on a model of progressive universalism, the HCP seeks to provide for all children, with additional services for children and families with particular needs and risks. The programme focuses on public health priorities such as obesity, breast feeding and social and emotional development.

This work was commissioned by the Department of Health and delivered by Health Education England (HEE)/elearning for healthcare (e-lfh) in collaboration with a consortium of professional bodies. The materials have been written by subject specialists and experts in their particular field and have been subjected to extensive and ongoing peer review. The sessions have undergone a review within the last 3 years and as a result have an improved design as well as having been updated in line with current guidance and references.

More information

The Healthy Child Programme comprises 75 elearning sessions, grouped together by topic into 13 learning modules. Sessions will signpost the learner to other learning where appropriate. The modules comprise of individual e-learning sessions, which take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The sessions include interactive elements, case studies and self-assessments to reinforce learning and there are a range of resources signposted at the end of each session.

Module 9

Immunisation has been removed. For elearning sessions on immunisation, refer to the Immunisation programmes.

Module 13

Early Developmental Support

The Early Developmental Support module is based around an extensive set of resources which was a central government initiative. These resources were designed to support better co-ordinated services for young children who have disabilities and/or complex health needs. They are intended for use by a range of practitioners working closely with families. The elearning sessions in the Early Development Support module, introduce and explain the materials and give related background for development processes in babies and young children.

The booklets referred to have not been recently updated as the principles of Early Development Support are embedded now in practice. However, they do still contain helpful and relevant information.

This course is closely linked with Disability Matters in the Healthy Child Programme.

This module includes sessions on:

Supporting Children's and Young People's Development

An Introduction to Using Early Support Materials in Context

Introducing and Using a Developmental Journal

Developmental Journal Visual Impairment: Developmental Principles Part 1

Growth Charts and their Interpretation

This session is an introduction to growth charts, and includes information on how to plot measurements and when to become concerned about a child's growth.
