Could your child be experiencing sensory or emotional processing differences?

Does your child struggle with transitions, have meltdowns, or seem unusually sensitive to sounds, smells, lights or busy environments? Do they find comfort in unexpected things, need routines to feel safe or find it hard to express when they're distressed?

These could all be signs that your child experiences and processes sensory and emotional information differently. Whether you're on a waiting list, have a diagnosis, or simply have a feeling something isn't as you would expect — you're not alone, and we're here to help.

Free partner app for children

My Ace Space is unique in that we have a web app and character Ace especially made for children.

Your child can use the app in the moment to show you how they're feeling using colours instead of words, making it easier for them to communicate before they reach crisis point. Via an animation, it informs your child how the programme works and shows them how to work out which colour they are in. The app works in partnership with the parents'/carers' course so you can look at it together as a family.

Testimonials

Giving us a language

Parent of 8 year old autistic boy - February 2026

“The programme made such a difference to all of us, giving us a language to articulate the changes in our child’s sensory regulation (and ours!)”

Transformative for our family

Dee McMahon - January 2026

This course has been truly transformative for our family. It gave us practical strategies, deeper understanding, and the confidence to support our autistic child in ways that feel respectful and empowering. I’m so grateful for the guidance and clarity it provided.

Accessible, neuroaffirmative and informative

Becky - February 2026

Really accessible, neuroaffirmative and informative course that helped me to really understand sensory profiles and link them to colours. This will be a really helpful approach when supporting my child with their sensory and emotional profile.

Getting my feelings across

by Simon (autistic adult) - January 2026

“I think for me it’s the way it’s visual and it helps being able to relate to colours. It’s better than someone asking me “How are you today?” then me trying work out the words to respond back. It really helps on getting my feelings across to other people and it’s just very easy to learn how it works and how to use it.”

A fantastic resource

Clare Whitworth

A fantastic resource for parents and professionals. Lots of great advice and detailed information on how to use the colours in My Ace Space. I like that it’s broken into sections and that gives you time to reflect on your young person and how the section might relate to them.
