Level 3B – Ages 9–14 | High Need – Tactile Programme
Children with higher tactile sensitivities may feel overwhelmed by everyday sensations such as fabrics, seams, or unexpected touch. They might avoid certain clothes, withdraw from physical contact, or struggle to relax in crowded or noisy environments. These reactions can make daily life, including school, sport, and social interaction, more stressful, often leading to frustration, anxiety, or reduced confidence.
The Level 3B Tactile Programme is designed for children aged 9 to 14 who need structured, calming support to feel more comfortable and in control of their sensory world. Through gentle, sensory-based activities, the programme helps the nervous system respond more evenly to touch and contact. Each game builds tolerance at a steady pace, helping children manage tactile discomfort while improving focus, emotional balance, and physical confidence. Over time, they become calmer, more resilient, and better able to participate in everyday routines with ease.
If you’ve just completed our free online assessment, this is the level recommended for your child. If not, the assessment is always available to help guide your choice. Whether there’s a diagnosis, a flagged need, or simply something you’ve noticed, this programme offers targeted support that’s practical, affordable, and ready to make a real difference in everyday family life.
The programme features eight sensory-rich games including; Goo!, Zips, The Restful Floor, The Human Rolling Pin, The Healing Orb, Hand Massage, Silent Mirrors, and Grounding the Body. These calming, tactile based games help reduce defensiveness, improve body awareness, and support emotional regulation through consistent, rhythmic movement.
Each session takes less than 10 minutes a day, ideally 5 times a week, and progresses through a 16 week plan.
The programme includes:
- Eight targeted games
- A visual progress tracker
- Flexible pacing options
- Shared goal-setting activity
- Additional Day-to-day recommendations
- Tips and support to help you get the most from every session.
