A shared workspace for the people around a child with sensory processing difficulties.

Managing sensory processing disorder works best when everyone involved is working from the same picture — but too often parents, teachers and clinicians each hold a different piece of it, and strategies get lost between appointments, classrooms and home.

The Sensory Buddy App was built to close that gap. It gives the people in a child's life one place to identify the sensory patterns at play, monitor how a child responds to particular strategies, and record the outcomes over time — so decisions are based on what has actually been tried and what actually helped.

At its core is a sensory integration and modulation framework that turns day-to-day observations into useful information. That information travels: it informs clinical practice, supports teachers and carers in the moment, and keeps every stakeholder aligned on the child's wellbeing through the process. Rather than strategies being handed down and then quietly abandoned, they can be tracked, adjusted and built on.

Just as importantly, the app brings the child into it. Guiding a child to notice and understand their own sensory needs — and to take an active role in managing them — is where lasting change happens. The app is designed to support that engagement, not just record it.
