Every child experiences the world through their senses, their space, and the people around them — and when a neurodivergent child isn’t thriving, the problem usually lives in the relationship between them and their environment, not in the child. The Sensory-Spatial Profile Card Activity Pack is where that understanding begins. Through a series of gentle, guided activities, you’ll build a rich portrait of your child: their strengths and interests, what helps them regulate, what costs them, and the everyday environments where they flourish or struggle. No clinical or design knowledge required — just what you already know about your child.
The pack gathers everything into a single Profile Card, written in your child’s own voice, ready to hand to a teacher, therapist, carer or relative. It’s a living document that says, simply: here is who I am, and here is what helps me. As the first move in the Person-Environment Relationship (PER) Framework, it becomes the lens for everything that follows — because to shape a world around your child, you first have to see them clearly.
"I created a template that explores the spatial, social and sensory aspects of the environments around neurodivergent children deliberately focusing in on the specific needs, differences and preferences of each child who fills out their profile card. This was not about creating broad, overarching statements about neurodivergent children, rather it seeks to recognises the child as a whole being placing their strengths, their lived experiences of the spaces and places around them and the environments they thrive in at the centre of the profile card.
It is my favourite project because I first designed it for my children to help capture all the important things I wanted others to know about them and my hope is that it helps other families to focus on all the beautiful and incredible things about their neurodivergent child(ren)."
