Ask Me Anything
LIVE WORKSHOP | JAN 30TH @ 6:30AM | REPLAY INCLUDED
Thermal Comfort in Complex Disability Support
Essentials on how thermoregulation impacts behavior and distress and how to manage it effectively in postural support, seating and sleeping interventions
AMA with Sarah Clayton, BSc (Hons) PGCE
Update your knowledge on thermoregulation and thermal comfort so you can support children more safely, stop guessing and feel confident in your clinical decisions.
In this live, interactive AMA with Postural Care and Body Shape Distortion Specialist Sarah Clayton, you won’t just hear theory, you’ll hear how the issues with postural care and sleep are being addressed in real-life and get the chance to ask questions that matter to you.
We’ll start with a short presentation to ground you in key physiological principles, then shift into rich clinical discussion, live Q&A, and practical ideas.
You’ll walk away with:
-
A practical framework for noticing and thinking about thermal dysregulation, not a list of fixed answers, but a way to start making sense of what you’re seeing.
-
The ability to interpret skin signs with nuance, including what they might suggest and where to explore next.
-
Increased confidence about what to monitor, why it matters, and how observations can guide conversations with families and teams.
-
Clear, accessible language for explaining thermal comfort without oversimplifying or assuming “one right way.”
-
Guidance on thinking through materials, routines, and positioning so decisions become thoughtful rather than guesswork - even when the ‘right’ solution varies day to day.
-
A chance to bring your own questions for shared reasoning, not guaranteed answers - but collaborative exploration with Sarah to build understanding.
This isn’t a checklist.
It’s your shortcut to practicing with more clarity, confidence, and insight.
I know something isn’t right, but I don’t know exactly what to check or what to change.
Most therapists are being asked to make high-stakes decisions about thermal comfort without a clear framework.
Here’s what that can looks like in real life:
“They’re sweating, so they must be hot… right?”
“They feel cold, but they’re flushed?”
“We changed the seating and now sleep is worse - is that related?”
“This child never seems comfortable, no matter what we do.”
How this relates to thermal comfort
Skin signs are often misleading and don’t reflect core temperature
Cooling is overused because it feels safer (but can worsen tone, sleep, and stress)
Thermal issues can be mis-identified as “sensory,” “behavior,” or “tolerance problems”
Therapists are responsible for much of the sleep and positioning decisions without a clear framework
This workshop will give you what’s missing: a framework to help you think clearly, even when the child’s presentation doesn’t fit the textbook.
