About This Session

This session explores auditory processing differences and how sound affects access, communication, and regulation. It examines noise, processing speed, predictability, and environmental demands, alongside the impact on stress, fatigue, and wellbeing.

Although this session focuses mainly on autism, auditory processing differences can also apply to other neurodivergent conditions and those with learning disabilities.

  • Recognise signs of auditory overload and distress responses.
  • Identify environmental factors that increase auditory demand.
  • Understand why we see auditory oversensitivity so often in autistic people.
  • What auditory support works and what strategies can help total sensory demand.
