What’s special about GriffinOT’s Success with Sensory Strategies online training?
The core difference with GriffinOT’s success with sensory training is that it’s delivered by an highly specialist occupational therapist (Kim Griffin) who has almost 25 years of experience in the field of sensory. Kim’s first introduction to sensory integration was as a student in 2001, and since then she has never looked back. The core differences you will experience with GriffinOT are

Average participant rating 4.5/5 stars
“The material was clear and understandable, even being unfamiliar with certain terms prior to the course. The videos were engaging and real life examples aided in understanding the topic further.”
An excellent, user friendly course. Very informative and taught in small sections to help understanding. Would highly recommend to both parents and school staff.
“This introductory course to SPD is perfectly pitched: it deals with very complex concepts in a clear, direct way which is accessible to all. I will be adding the full course to my team’s CPD. Many thanks to GriffinOT”
A comprehensive break down of everything sensory. This course takes you from zero to a hundred and explains everything along the way. I have so much knowledge now and feel ready to apply it all in the classroom.
A clear and informative course. I learnt from every module, especially the neurology. I highly recommend to anyone working in a special schools and ARPs, to have a more in depth understanding of our children. Thank you Kim, I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience!
“I found this course really easy to follow and liked how you could stop and come back to the course over a period of time in order to complete it.”
Amazing training that you can do at your own pace. Really easy to navigate and easy to go back and watch videos again if you are unsure of anything. I love that it shows you your progress.

What is the impact of the training?
Kim is continually monitoring the impact of Sensory Processing with GriffinOT. She presented the results of pre and post knowledge questionnaires at the 2021 Children’s OT Conference (RCOT-CYPF) and the Sensory Integration Education Online Conference. Preliminary results are showing positive trends in participant’s knowledge and confidence scores before and after the training. They also indicate a huge gap between the number of people using sensory strategies and those who are accessing training (91% vs 26%). This discrepancy in use and access to training motivates Kim to continue providing online resources.

Sensory training – a teacher’s reflection
Becky teaches autistic children in a specialist provision in the UK. She spoke with Kim about her experiences before and after the training. And how the training better equipped her to support the learners in her class.
“The training has helped me to identify sensory needs more accurately. I can consider what sensations might be triggering behaviours. I’m now aware that some sensory behaviours might be covering up or supporting other sensory needs. The training has helped me to understand the differences between sensory sensitivity, slow and seeking. This has enhanced my ability to put the right supports in place for the learners in my class”
