Boyle is the location for an upcoming workshop for parents titled “Empowering Parents: Understanding Your Child’s Unique Sensory Needs”.
The practical and insightful workshop will be delivered by Boyle based Occupational Therapist Catriona Fahey and will take place in the Spool Factory Office Suites, where Catriona’s business – www.empowerot.ie is based.
According to Catriona: “Every child experiences the world in their own way and understanding how sensory systems influence their behaviour and emotions can be life changing”.

- Learn how sensory processing impacts your child’s daily responses to their environment.
- Recognise and address behaviours such as meltdowns, fidgeting or overwhelm.
- Discover strategies to support your child’s emotional regulation and reduce stress for the whole family.
This session is perfect for parents who want to:
- Feel more confident in supporting their child’s needs.
- Build a calmer, more connected relationship with their child.
- Gain tools to handle challenging moments with ease.
The workshop dates are Monday January 20th and Monday January 27th from 10am-1pm.
Spaces are limited to ensure a personalised experience. To reserve your spot, please email Catriona Fahey at [email protected] or phone or WhatsApp: 0838489667

“Alongside my parent workshop, I am also planning to offer this workshop to teens and young adults”.
This interactive session will help participants:
- Gain a deeper understanding of how their sensory systems impact emotions, behaviour, and daily life.
- Explore practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
- Build self-awareness and confidence in navigating the world with their unique sensory profile.
Why is this important? For teens and young adults, understanding their sensory needs is a powerful step toward self-regulation, building resilience and fostering independence.
This workshop is designed to provide them with tools to thrive in school, work, and social environments.
“If you are interested in this workshop for a teen or young adult in your life, please reach out. I’m currently in the process of creating groups and would love to hear from you to ensure we can tailor the sessions to meet their needs”.
“Contact me at [email protected] to register interest or ask any questions. Let’s empower the next generation with the tools to navigate life with confidence and calm”.
