33% of people live with sensory disorders. People from all walks of life experience these. The disorders become more problematic when there’s an underlying condition. I’ve lived most of my life impaired by a sensory disorder. The most problematic being vertigo followed by temperature, auditory and vision. I’m happy to find this resource where I can better inform myself and improve my environment and work so that I can make better for others either in person or virtually. With so much lived experience, I already have built-in strategies and coping mechanisms but it’s been very helpful expanding the learning of this for better quality of life. Spending my life masking and hiding this has only made it worse. It’s time to embrace it. This is my first step in the learning process.
As someone who has been living with sensory disorders my entire life, it’s no wonder it’s been nearly impossible trying to fit in somewhere – when constantly dealing with impairment. I recommend that ALL take this training. Not only for my physical experience, but as a content creator who strives to make sensory friendly content, I can make even better informed choices going forward. Course 1 of 6 completed and with a year subscription to the platform, I have access to a supportive community and this is so important.
At a later time, I plan to go into greater detail, explaining my own sensory disorder and how it’s changed my life.
