Sensory Inclusive Schools

Don’t miss out on this free download which explains in clear language how to use sensory circuits in your school to help all students get ready for the school day by achieving their optimum level of alertness.. 

At Sensory Inclusive Schools, we understand the unique challenges and incredible rewards of supporting students with diverse sensory processing needs. Our mission is to provide comprehensive online training and support, helping school staff create inclusive, sensory-friendly learning environments and schedules where every student can thrive. This support is particularly beneficial for students with sensory processing challenges, ensuring they receive the necessary accommodations to succeed.

How to Use A Sensory Circuit 

Setting up a sensory circuit is a simple and effective way of getting students focused and ready to learn. A sensory circuit includes a structured series of movement stations designed to provide sensory input and promote self-regulation in children. The activities are specifically tailored to address vestibular and proprioceptive needs, which are crucial for students with sensory processing difficulties.

This new free download from Sensory Inclusive Schools includes circuit ideas for use in the classroom and outdoors in the playground. We suggest the best times of day and for how long to use this sensory strategy.

The Alerting, Organising Calming Cycle

Sensory circuits start with alerting activities to increase arousal levels, followed by organising and calming activities that can involve deep pressure and breathing exercises. These physical activities help regulate a child’s level of alertness through vestibular and proprioceptive input, preparing them for learning and participation in daily activities. They also aid in body awareness through proprioceptive input, which provides calming sensory input.

Benefits of Sensory Circuits In Schools

• Promote Sensory Processing and Sensory Integration: Help students better process and respond to sensory information.
• Enhance Focus and Attention: Provide the right sensory input that can help students regulate their emotions and behaviour.
• Create an Inclusive Classroom: Support all students, particularly those with sensory processing challenges, to succeed.

Which Students Benefit Most?

Sensory circuits are a great way to energise and settle all students. They are particularly beneficial for children with poor coordination and sensory processing difficulties. They are effective in a school environment, where sensory-based movement activities can prepare all students for learning.
