Sensory Needs

Sensory Needs

Your children may have different sensory needs. Think about adding sensory breaks throughout your day. Children can have a variety of different sensory needs, each child's sensory needs are unique to them. Please watch this video as it will explain more - Sensory Processing 
​Below are some ideas on how to get started with different activities. 
  • Set up a box of sensory and calming objects for them to explore, and that can help when they’re finding things hard. You could include: pieces of material with different textures (e.g. a face flannel, a fabric sample, etc.), sponges, brush, comb, shells, pine cones. 
  • Set up a calming area within your house that your child can go to when they need a break. 
  • Build a den, full of cushions, pillows, blankets, etc.
  • Maintain a healthy diet and routine with snacks and meals. 
  • ​Oak National Academy - Alongside the national lessons, the Oak National Academy has an area dedicated to children with addition needs - this has a section that includes sensory integration. 
  • Sensory Circuits - Iain Mills is a teacher from a specialist provision that has recorded different sensory circuit videos to share with families. 
  • Autism Beds are providing families in Bedfordshire with Sensory Play Kits.
