Level 1A – Ages 9-14 | Mild Need – Tactile Programme
Children with mild tactile sensitivities may feel uncomfortable with certain fabrics, seams, or light touch. They might become distracted by small physical sensations, dislike crowded spaces, or withdraw from activities that involve close contact. These sensitivities can affect comfort, focus, and confidence at school, in sport, or during social interaction.
The Level 1A Tactile Programme is designed for children aged 9 to 14 who need gentle support to feel more at ease with everyday sensations. Through calming, sensory-based activities, the programme helps the nervous system process touch more efficiently, improving tolerance, comfort, and emotional balance. Over time, children become more relaxed, confident, and better able to focus on learning and daily life.
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 creative and sensory-focused movement games including; Hand Massage, Goo!, and The Healing Orb. These enjoyable activities gently desensitise touch responses while improving body awareness, posture, and self-regulation.
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.
