Understanding and Supporting Your Sensory Needs
Free
If you’ve ever thought “why does every sound, light, or fabric feel like too much?” — this workbook is your roadmap out of sensory chaos. Created by Dr. Megan Anna Neff, this beautifully structured guide helps ADHD and Autistic adults uncover how sensory processing shapes emotion, focus, and energy regulation.
Inside, you’ll explore:
Sensory Regulation 101 — what it is, why it’s foundational for executive function, and how sensory overload mimics anxiety or burnout
Developing a Sensory Lens — how to see the world through your unique sensory profile so you can stop blaming yourself for overwhelm and start understanding what’s actually happening in your nervous system
Building Your Sensory Safety Plan — a step-by-step toolkit to identify triggers, map your soothers, and design environments and routines that keep your body regulated.
By the end, you’ll have a fully personalized sensory profile, soothers list, and emergency plan for overload moments. Perfect for ADHD, Autistic, or highly sensitive adults, this workbook transforms “I can’t handle this” into “I know exactly what I need.”
