URGENT: Peer and Tutor Groups Microsoft Outage
For the time being, all tutor groups, peer support groups and coffee and chat sessions will move to Zoom because of the current Microsoft Teams issues affecting meeting access and admitting participants. Please give yourself plenty of time before your session to log into My Learning and find the correct Zoom link. Tutor groups:Log into your ASI 1, ASI 2 or ASI 3 learning space. You already have access and do not need to buy anything else. Peer support and coffee and chat:Please access the free product in the shop if you have not already done so. Then log into My Learning and open the group space to find the Zoom link. Please do not share Zoom links on Facebook, social media, WhatsApp groups, school platforms or by email. Everyone must collect their own link from My Learning so we can keep the group safe and prevent unauthorised access. Thank you for your patience while we use Zoom as a temporary solution.

Innovation, Iteration and Co-production - ISIC Poster
We are sharing our ISIC poster alongside this reflection, because it captures something central to Sensory Ladders®: co production is not a slogan. It is how the work was built, and how it continues to grow. Bridging the Gap | From Sensory Motor Processing to Human Occupation with Sensory Ladders® This is one of the posters presented at ISIC: What we mean by co production There are three living layers to this. 1. The concept itself was co produced. Sensory Ladders®️ did not arrive fully formed. They grew organically in collaboration with people using services, families, and clinicians. In learning disability and mental health services, we needed a way to make sensory experience visible in a way that protected dignity and supported participation. People described what overwhelmed felt like. What underpowered felt like. What helped. What made things worse. We trialled versions together. We changed language when it felt reducing. We refined structure when it felt confusing. The framework evolved through feedback, reflection, and active participation. Lived experience shaped the structure as much as theory did. 2. Every individual ladder is co produced. No two Sensory Ladders®️ are the same. Each ladder is created with a person, not for them. The steps are named together. The wording reflects the person’s own language. The levels link directly to real occupations, roles, and environments. The making of the ladder builds shared understanding. It supports agency, reduces misinterpretation, and strengthens relational response. It is not about placing someone into a type. It is about recognising unique patterns and building a shared map that supports meaningful doing. 3. Translation is also co produced. As Sensory Ladders®️ are translated internationally, this is done in collaboration with therapists within each cultural and linguistic context. Translation is not simply about swapping words. It involves: • ensuring metaphors make sense locally

Our new Sensory Ladders Training Platform is live | anyone, anywhere, any time
Hello all We are proud and excited to share a very special announcement with you. The Board of Directors is pleased to announce the launch of our new Sensory Ladders®️ Training Platform, created to support the delivery of Sensory Ladders®️ training across the globe. This has been a significant piece of work behind the scenes. We have invested in a new platform that will allow us to share Sensory Ladders®️ training in a more professional, accessible and sustainable way. It will also support us to move more quickly with translations, so that Sensory Ladders®️ can continue to reach people, families, communities and services around the world. We are launching with the English version first. Following this, we will be working with our international teams and partners to support translations into other languages. For us, this is about protecting access while extending reach and access. Sensory Ladders®️ have been developed in co-production with users since 1999. They were created to support people with complex sensory patterns, including experiences linked to neurodiversity, trauma, sleep disruption, mental health, physical health, illness, injury, rehabilitation, ageing and everyday life. Sensory Ladders®️ are unique because they are always personal. They are not a fixed programme or a one-size-fits-all model. Each Sensory Ladder®️ is created with the person, and with the people who know and support them, so that it reflects their own body, nervous system, story and lived experience. Every Sensory Ladder®️ is different because every person is different. Sensory Ladders®️ help make sensory experiences visible. They support praxis and participation, communication, advocacy, self-understanding and shared understanding, especially when words are difficult or when needs are not yet understood by others. As part of this project, we will also be launching associated and related products. These will help fund continued access to Sensory Ladders®️ resources and support the translation work needed to keep Sensory Ladders free and open access.

Sensory Ladders & Night Terrors
Hello! I'm wondering if a sensory ladder could be used to support night terrors and if anyone has any experience around supporting families whose children experience frequent night terrors and the impact on sleep that this has for the whole family.
