Welcome to our sensory supports quizzes
Two simple, parent-friendly quizzes to help you understand what’s overwhelming your child and what actually helps
These quick quizzes help you notice patterns that shape both you and your child with more clarity so you can:
- identify sensory patterns — what soothes, comforts, and supports your nervous systems
- move from reacting to challenging behavior
toward
responding with regulation
Use these sensory quizzes to help you family build safety, balance, and confidence from the inside out.
Not sure where to start? Begin with the Triggers Quiz.
Start here: What's Causing the Overwhelm?
If you’re noticing frequent meltdowns, resistance, or shutdowns, this quiz helps you identify your child’s sensory stressors. These are the inputs that may be pushing their system past capacity.
You’ll begin to see patterns like
- sensitivity to noise, textures, or light
- overwhelm in busy or unpredictable environments
- daily routines that consistently lead to dysregulation
Or Explore What Helps Your Child Feel Regulated?
If you’re ready to focus on solutions, this quiz helps you identify your child’s sensory soothers. These are the inputs and experiences that help them feel calm, grounded, and more like themselves.
This quiz is especially helpful if you’re thinking, “I know they’re struggling… but I’m not sure what actually helps.”
You’ll discover patterns like
- movement or pressure that helps their body settle
- environments where they feel safest
- sensory inputs that increase focus and connection
What these Sensory Quizzes Help You Understand
Both quizzes are designed to give you a clearer picture of your child’s sensory profile without overwhelm, shame, or guesswork.
You’ll walk away with insight into:
- how your child experiences everyday sensory input
- what may be contributing to stress, avoidance, or big reactions
- what supports regulation, connection, and capacity
Who these quizzes are for
These sensory quizzes are especially helpful for parents of kids who:
- are highly sensitive or easily overwhelmed
- have ADHD or are autistic (or you’re wondering if they might be)
- seek constant movement, crashing, or stimulation
- struggle with transitions, routines, or busy environments
- have big emotional reactions that feel hard to predict
WELCOME TO THE SPACE THAT FINALLY GETS YOU
We’re Tina & Vanessa— Parent Coaches Walking This Path With You.
Supporting families of Autistic and ADHD kids with connection, curiosity, and compassion.
We help the entire family find practical nervous system regulation tools.
Our approach comes from our Pediatric Occupational Therapy background, lived experience, and from our work with thousands of families.
Vanessa is the problem-solver who's happiest when she's thinking outside the box, whether it's creating hands-on activities for emotional and sensory regulation or hosting community events for neurodivergent tweens and teens.
And Tina? She's the sports enthusiast and lifelong gymnast who blended her love of sports into the community program called Buddyball, which brings together families of kids with unique abilities to enjoy sports with peers.
Fun facts about us :)
When we’re not busy creating resources for DEN, Vanessa can be found in the gym, traveling, or taking a walk with her husky, while Tina might be taking a break from her 6 kids and chilling out on her boat. And if you catch us on a Friday, we’ll be laughing about our early OT days sitting in the Florida sunshine and plotting our next big adventure in supporting families!
