Rosie will be hosting this meeting. The TOPIC for this meeting is SENSORY PROCESSING AND OVERLOAD.
Questions to think about: What difficulties do you have because of sensory processing issues? Are you often overwhelmed by e.g. loud noises, bright lights, strong smells, touch? Is one sense more of a problem than the others? Which sensory experiences do you find pleasurable or beneficial? Are there any places you avoid because of sensory processing problems? What methods do you use to reduce sensory anxiety and avoid overload?
It's fine to go off the discussion topic - the set topic just gives the meetings a bit of direction and allows people to prepare what they want to say. As always feel free to drop in and out of the meeting whenever you want.
You do need to download Zoom, but you don't need to create an account to participate in these meetings. It will be a video call, but you can turn off your video and just use audio only if you're more comfortable with that.
