Sensory support — what Mahnoor does, and what she does not
Mahnoor uses practical sensory strategies as part of behaviour, classroom and daily-living work. This is not licensed sensory integration therapy and she is not an occupational therapist. If your child needs a licensed OT, we say so and help you find one.

What “sensory support” means in this building
Noise, touch, movement, clothing, the lunch hall, the bathroom fan. We watch what tips a child over, change the environment where we can, and teach a way to leave before the crash. That sits inside special education and ABA, not inside a separate OT department we do not have. Read the scope on sensory support and motor and daily-living skills.
Mahnoor is a speech and language therapist, behaviour therapist and special educator. She is not an occupational therapist. Printing “sensory integration therapy” as if we staffed a licensed OT would be a false claim. We do not.
What we can try in-house
A quieter corner. Headphones the child will actually wear. A movement break that is scheduled, not earned as a prize for sitting still. Clothing seams and labels named as a real problem, not fussiness. The sensory checklist is the parent-facing list.
Overload that looks like behaviour is often load, not “naughtiness”. That is why this page sits next to behaviour and ADHD overstimulation. Signs parents notice: sensory processing difficulty.
When we refer to an occupational therapist
Formal sensory integration, a sensory diet designed by an OT, feeding that needs an OT, and motor work that is clearly beyond classroom skill-building. We say so. We help you find someone. We do not keep the child here to protect a session count.
Weighted blankets are sometimes a home experiment, never a miracle. Weighted blankets. What SI actually is, for comparison: what is sensory integration therapy?
How this sits in the plan
Sensory strategies are rarely the whole plan. They sit under communication, behaviour and school so the child can stay in the room long enough to learn. Autism: autism support. ADHD: ADHD and delay. Classroom: classroom support.
First look is still assessment — pain, hearing and constipation get ruled in or out before we call something “sensory behaviour”.
Sensory support — questions parents ask
Do you offer sensory integration therapy?
No. We do not have a licensed occupational therapist. We offer practical sensory support and will refer when formal SI or OT is what the child needs.
Is a weighted blanket part of the plan?
Sometimes as a home experiment, never as a miracle. See weighted blankets. Overload that looks like behaviour is on ADHD overstimulation.
Is Mahnoor an occupational therapist?
No. Motor, handwriting and sensory support is practical skill-building by the special-education and ABA team. Licensed OT is referred out.
