There's some exciting new research on sensory treatments! A 2026 study highlights five key adaptations for sensory-informed therapy: adjusting environments, offering movement breaks, using deep pressure (like weighted blankets), providing sensory tools, and respecting individual preferences (Sensory Integration Education).

Another recent study found nature walks can be effective calm sensory breaks (AB Spectrum). Research also shows sensory integration therapy helps with self-regulation, reducing meltdowns, and improving focus in daily activities.

Emerging microbiome therapies are showing promise too - a 2026 study reported 28% improvement in social communication scores (News-Medical).

For practical guidance, "Raising a Sensory Smart Child" by Biel and Peake is an excellent resource. The Autism CRC also has good intervention evidence summaries.
