This aligns beautifully with what we know from Ayres Sensory Integration®:
• Thriving isn’t just about symptom reduction – it’s about enabling participation through sensory safety, self-understanding, and co-regulation.
• Sensory Ladders offer a practical, co-produced tool for building that supportive environment. They create shared understanding, empower self-advocacy, and nurture the belonging and self-esteem that this research identifies as protective factors.
