Sensory sensitivities occur when a child experiences sounds, lights, textures, or other sensory input more intensely. This can lead to overwhelm in certain environments, and understanding these sensitivities helps support regulation and comfort.

Social scripts are simple phrases or models that help children navigate social situations. They can support skills like starting conversations, asking for help, or joining play, while building confidence over time.
