Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.56 – Helping Children with Sensory Overload: Sensory overload happens when too many sounds, sights, or sensations flood the brain. Recognizing it early prevents full shutdowns or meltdowns. Children may cover ears, hide, or act out to escape stimulation. Creating calm zones at home and teaching grounding tools helps them recover. Noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, or soft lighting can reduce input. Parents can prepare by explaining environments in advance so kids know what to expect. Encourage breaks during noisy or crowded activities. Help children describe what sensations bother them most so they feel understood. Over time, awareness allows better planning and fewer crises. Managing sensory overload is not about avoiding life—it’s about learning balance and control.
