Welcome to Sensory Street!
We are a University of Oxford research project exploring the lives of autistic people with sensory processing difficulties using creative and immersive experiences…

About the Project | Get Involved

We process visual information through our eyes, which includes colours, patterns, shapes, depth and contrasts. ⠀ Did you know that this November @autisticauk released its 2030 goals which aim to support autistic people to live longer, healthier and happier lives? They aim to achieve this through supporting research projects about autistic people and their families as well as working with advocates and other organisations to make changes to the experiences of autistic people. One of their goals is all about increasing the accessibility of public spaces for neurodiverse people. That’s nothing new to us here at Sensory Street, as our research project is all about helping the public to learn more about the experiences of autistic people in public spaces. Want to learn more about Autistica’s research goals and our work? Visit our latest blog post to learn more or send us a message to ask a question!⠀ The tactile system processes information gained through your skin. It processes and connects information about touch, pressure, temperature and pain. ⠀ Today we are presenting about our Sensory Street project at “The Future is Sensory” by Sensory Integration Education. The conference is virtual, free and all the presentations are available for 7 days afterwards so visit their page for more info!⠀ Interoception is our next sense and the hardest to describe. It is all about sensations that happen inside your body and how these are being regulated. ⠀ We are pleased to announce that we have been invited to speak at the 2021 Sensory Integration Education Autumn Conference “The Future is Sensory” on the 22nd of November. All the presentations at the free virtual event are available for a week afterwards so that you can watch them at a time that is best for you. Want to learn more? Visit @sensoryintegrationeducation for more information⠀ Our sense of taste (also known as gustatory information) comes from receptors in our tongue, which can detect different tastes such as sweet, salty and sour. ⠀ Our latest blog post by ⠀ Our vestibular system controls our sense of balance and coordinating movement. This system in our inner ears tells our brain about our head position, how fast or slow we are moving as well as where we are in relation to other objects/people. ⠀
