You do the sensory diet every day. You manage the meltdowns. You run the OT homework — brushing protocol, swing time, oral motor exercises, the heavy-work circuit. And when someone asks how things are going, you say "about the same," because you genuinely can't tell if any of it is moving the needle.
SensoryStrong is the SPD parent's tracker for everything you're doing that you can't see. Quiet, fast, on your phone.
What you'll log
— sensory tolerance across six domains: auditory, tactile, visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, oral
— context tags: home, school, public, post-OT, after a transition
— what activity you ran and how your child responded
— takes 30 seconds, not a journal entry
What surfaces after three weeks
— which sensory diet activities actually correlate with calmer afternoons
— which environments are net-positive vs. net-cost on tolerance
— which time-of-day windows are when your child has the most regulation budget
— the difference between "noisy day" and "regression" — finally distinguishable on a chart
What the perspective cards do
After a hard moment, a research-backed reframe lands in the app — written for SPD parents, grounded in occupational therapy and sensory integration neuroscience. Not "stay positive." Real explanations of why a vestibular crash looks like a behavioral collapse, and why the brushing protocol you almost quit is probably working.
What's in the course
Six modules, five-minute daily micro-doses. The core challenges of sensory parenting — invisible progress, sustainable routines, meltdown response, advocacy with the OT and the school, burnout prevention. Named tools you can use this week. Real parent stories. No hour-long lectures.
What Pulse does for the household
Both caregivers answer the same alignment questions independently — sensory understanding, consistency, episode response, emotional load sharing — then see the gaps. Two parents running different sensory budgets is the most expensive mistake in this work.
Where the data lives
— on your device only
— no accounts, no servers, no tracking
— export encrypted backups anytime
— your child's sensory data is yours
The sensory progress is real. SensoryStrong is the proof in your pocket.
