The SenseUp Approach ™ is a trademarked method created by Kerry Evetts, an Occupational Therapist with a Masters degree and extensive clinical experience and advanced training in sensory integration theory and practice.

The SenseUp Approach ™ is used by occupational therapists when providing an OT service to children with sensory challenges.

This approach embodies affirming and child-led interactions with young people, primarily 9 years and under, although still has relevance through the teen years.

Theoretical Foundations

The SenseUp Approach ™ draws on theory from several places including Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI ®), Polyvagal Theory by Stephen Porges, Interoception by Kelly Mahler and others.

Core Features & Values include :

Functional approach encompassing bottom-up and top-down features

Individualised and tailored assessments and interventions guided by the SenseUp Model™ framework.

Supporting a child's intrinsic drive to seek meaning from their environment

Supporting the child's play

Supporting multi-sensory integration on a background of safety

Supporting self-advocacy in all manners of expression

Affirming & tailored assessment process

Family-centred

Training in The SenseUp Approach ™

The SenseUp Approach™ Course is for occupational therapists working in paediatrics. We use a combination of self-study webinars and group webconferencing to learn sensory theory and instil into everyday practice.

There are 6 modules including:

Level 1: The Sensory Systems

Level 2: The Sensory Motor Foundations for Functional Capacity

Level 3: The Perceptual Motor Foundations for Functional Capacity

Level 4: Functional Capacity and Sensory Processing

Sense In Practice – Assessment and Intervention

NICE TO MEET YOU

I am Kerry

I have identified as a 'sensory' OT since 2008. Although I had already been working as an OT for over a decade, learning about sensory processing created a monumental shift in me as a person and an OT.

I had always liked being an OT but when I started incorporating a sensory lens into my work in paeds I realised I truly loved being an OT. I had never felt as fulfilled and gratified in my work!

Fast forward 15 years with a published Masters thesis (in sensory modulation measures), immigration to Australia, and a life-threatening event - and I discovered my true calling - to teach - about sensory of course!

Now, I use what I've learned over my long and joyful OT career to support and nurture OTs who also want to be sensory-informed and sensory-affirming. I love to show OT's how they can transform their careers and their sensory clients' lives.

I have LOVED my time completing the course and workshop with you and learning alongside every one else. I really feel I have developed my knowledge significantly and can support my team to a higher level. My goal in 2024 was to focus on PD and developing my skills as a therapist. I can confidently say I achieved that goal with SenseUp!

I have been really engaged with the content and feel excited for our fortnightly calls. Being around like-minded OT’s has been refreshing and has reignited my passion for being an OT after almost walking away from the profession a few years ago

This course has transformed my OT service. I now have a far greater understanding of sensory, neuroscience, why kids respond the way that they do, and overall the functional impact of difficulties with sensory processing. I now have a new lens to assess whats happening for kids
