About This Resource
Sensory Systems and Regulation
A Neurodiversity-Affirming Guide to Understanding and Supporting Sensory Needs (2026 Edition)
This 120-page professionally designed digital handbook provides an in-depth exploration of sensory processing and sensory regulation in autistic individuals.
Fully revised and significantly expanded in 2026, this comprehensive resource explores how autistic people may experience and process sensory input differently across the eight sensory systems, and how these differences influence emotional regulation, behaviour, energy levels, and daily functioning.
Combining clear explanations, practical strategies, and reflective worksheets, this guide helps readers better understand sensory experiences and identify supportive approaches that respect individual sensory profiles.
Developed by Amanda Moses, a neurodivergent psychologist, this resource is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming framework. Rather than attempting to change autistic people to fit their environments, the focus is on understanding sensory differences and supporting individuals to create environments that allow them to feel safe, regulated, and able to thrive.
What's Included
- A clear explanation of sensory processing and sensory regulation
- In-depth exploration of all eight sensory systems
- Understanding hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity across the eight sensory systems
- How sensory differences can influence regulation, stress levels, focus, and emotional wellbeing
- Practical strategies for supporting sensory regulation in everyday environments
- Guidance on recognising individual sensory profiles and needs
- A strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming perspective on supporting autistic sensory experiences
This handbook includes structured exercises and worksheets designed to help readers explore their own sensory experiences and identify supportive strategies. Included are:
- Sensory system exploration worksheets
- Tools for identifying personal sensory preferences and sensitivities
- Guided reflections to help recognise regulation needs and patterns
- Practical strategy guides for each sensory system
These tools can be used in therapy, educational settings, or personal reflection, and are designed to support curiosity and self-understanding rather than forcing sensory change.
Who Is This Resource For?
This guide has been developed for:
- Psychologists and allied health professionals supporting autistic clients
- Autistic individuals wanting to understand their sensory experiences
- Parents and carers supporting autistic children or adults
- Educators and support professionals working with autistic individuals
The language is accessible and practical, making it suitable for both professional use and personal learning.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Therapy Tools and Clinical Templates
Are these therapy tools ready to be used in sessions with clients?
Yes. Most of the clinical tools are designed to be used directly in therapy and assessment sessions.
Each therapy manual and guide include structured worksheets, reflection exercises, and homework activities that can be introduced in-session and used between appointments. Printable materials are provided so they can be used collaboratively during sessions or shared with clients for ongoing work.
Where relevant, I have also included guidance for clinicians on how to introduce each tool, explain its purpose, and integrate it meaningfully into therapeutic work. The intention is to support active, collaborative therapeutic processes.
Who are these resources designed for?
These resources are designed primarily for psychologists and allied health professionals working in assessment and therapy settings.
They are used by provisional psychologists, early-career clinicians and more experienced practitioners seeking structured, ethically grounded tools.
Resources within the Understanding Neurodivergence Series are also suitable for neurodivergent community members seeking education and self-reflection.
Can I adapt the templates and tools to suit my own practice style?
Yes. All templates are designed to be flexible.
You are encouraged to adapt language, structure and formatting to suit your theoretical orientation, client population and workplace requirements. They provide a strong foundation while allowing professional judgement to remain central.
Can these clinical tools support autism and ADHD assessment work?
Yes. The diagnostic intake tools and report writing guides are designed to support autism and ADHD assessments across the lifespan.
The intake questionnaires assist with gathering detailed information that standard screening tools often miss. They give clients space to reflect on their experiences before assessment and support the collection of meaningful collateral information where appropriate. This helps streamline your process while maintaining clinical depth.
The report writing templates and guides provide a clear structure for organising findings and communicating diagnostic outcomes respectfully and thoroughly. They are particularly useful for clinicians who want a clear, reliable framework for report writing that can be adapted for each individual client.
All tools are grounded in neurodiversity-affirming practice, supporting strengths-based language and thoughtful formulation. They are designed to support clinical judgement and formal training.
Can I share these resources with colleagues or students?
Resources are licensed for individual professional use and are not intended for redistribution or resale. If colleagues or students are interested, please direct them to the website to access their own copies.
Are these resources suitable for early-career psychologists?
Yes. Many provisional and early-career psychologists use these tools to build confidence in documentation, formulation and intervention planning.
They provide structure without oversimplifying clinical complexity.
Are the NPE practice question modules included in the full NPE course?
Yes. The NPE practice question modules are included in the full version of the NPE preparation course.
They are available separately for those who prefer focused practice questions or who do not intend to purchase the full preparation package.
Do you offer payment plans for your psychology resources?
Flexible payment options are available at checkout through third-party providers such as Afterpay and PayPal, depending on eligibility and provider terms.
Amanda Moses Psychology is not affiliated with these providers. All approvals and payment arrangements are managed directly by the third-party provider.
