Course overview
Lesson Overview

11.2 – Respecting Sensory Needs and Preferences: Every child with autism experiences the world through a unique sensory lens. Bright lights, sounds, or textures can feel overwhelming, while certain sensations bring calm and focus. Respecting these preferences means observing without judgment and adapting the environment to promote comfort. Parents can learn to recognize early signs of overstimulation, like covering ears or avoiding touch, and respond gently. Creating sensory-friendly spaces with soft lighting, familiar objects, or quiet corners helps children self-regulate naturally. Respect involves offering choices—like clothing fabrics, foods, or seating—so the child feels understood. Meeting sensory needs strengthens trust and cooperation. It also teaches children that their comfort matters and their voice counts. When families honor these details, home becomes a predictable place of safety and balance instead of tension or stress.
