by Courtney Penn (Author), Natasha Dawson (Author)

Discover the proven strategies to stop meltdowns, reduce sensory overload, and help your ADHD child feel calm, confident, and understood.

Parenting a child with ADHD is challenging. Parenting a child with ADHD and sensory sensitivities can feel overwhelming.

Does your child...

• Cover their ears at loud noises?
• Refuse certain clothes or textures?
• Melt down in busy or noisy places?

These aren't "bad behaviours", they're signs of sensory overload, a common but often overlooked challenge for kids with ADHD.

In this practical, science-based guide, you'll learn how to:

• Understand the connection between ADHD and sensory processing issues
• Identify your child's sensory triggers and prevent meltdowns
• Create sensory-friendly routines for mornings, meals, homework, and bedtime
• Use proven calming techniques at home, school, and in public
• Work with teachers, therapists, and caregivers for consistent support

Packed with checklists, tools, and real-life strategies, Raising a Sensory-Sensitive ADHD Child will give you the confidence to manage sensory overload and the skills to help your child feel safe, understood, and in control.

When you understand your child's sensitivities, you can turn daily chaos into calm and help them thrive.
