Some people experience the world differently because of sensory sensitivities. These OCALI resources are designed to help families understand sensory processing and provide practical tools and tips to support loved ones every day.

Here, you will find:

  • Foundational information about sensory processing and interoception, helping you understand your loved one’s unique experiences.
  • Simple strategies to provide support at home, at school, and in other settings.
  • Tools to share with others, increasing participation across different environments.
  • A place to start, offering clear, practical ideas for supporting your loved one’s sensory experiences.

These resources give families a foundation for understanding and supporting sensory needs. Additional resources will be added as they become available to keep supporting your family’s journey.
