My Sensory Experiences Tool (MYSET)
Sensory Experience Assessment for children, adolescents and adults!
MYSET is a visual, strengths-based resource co-designed with autistic consultants with lived experience, alongside leading researchers. It supports people to explore how everyday sensory experiences shape their lives. Instead of categorizing responses as "typical" or "atypical", MYSET celebrates sensory differences and creates space for authentic expression, collaborative problem-solving, and meaningful participation. The tool is designed to support autistic and neurodivergent children and adults (including people with diverse communication needs). Ages 5yrs and up.
Benefits of choosing MYSET:
- Neurodiversity -affirming approach: MYSET recognizes sensory differences as part of identity-not a disorder to be fixed.
- Person -centred & evidence-informed: Built on extensive participatory action research with autistic people aged 8-54, their families and practitioners, MYSET prioritizes lived experience and self-expression.
- Visual & accessible: MYSET's card-sorting format supports diverse communication styles, using visual cues and simple text to make concepts easier to discuss.
- Collaborative & empowering: Facilitates shared understanding between individuals, caregivers, and professionals. Leads to tailored strategy/support plans that reduce barriers and promote wellbeing.
