We are The Sensory Hive
We are a not-for-profit community organisation offering services in occupational therapy, sensory integration and education for individuals living with sensory processing difficulties.
Our community includes individuals who are neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, SPD, Dyspraxia), and those Learning Difficulties, PMLD, and neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy and brain injury.
Our Story
The Sensory Hive started as a seed of an idea for us back in 2017 and has since grown into an organisation offering valuable therapeutic and educational services for our disabled community in Merseyside, UK.
We are Sharon and Hayley, professionals in the fields of health and education but more importantly, parents of children with additional needs. We have neurodivergent children and have first-hand experience of how sensory processing conditions can profoundly affect a loved one and their families.
Living with a sensory processing condition can be challenging.
Many families are socially isolated because our modern world is a busy, overwhelming place and there are few spaces for our sensory sensitive children, young people and adults to safely access.
Additionally, sensory processing and integration is an area still very misunderstood and we want to change that!
Our specialist sensory integration therapy centre, based in Whiston, Knowsley, is a hive of activity offering a sensory gym, immersive and interactive room, occupational therapy, LEGO-based therapy, rebound therapy, hobby clubs, and infant and child sensory development classes for all of our community, and we offer a warm welcome to you all!
