Interoception - Our Internal Dashboard Explained for Schools
Interoception is our internal dashboard, telling us if we feel too hot, hungry or thirsty, feel pain anywhere, or feel anxious, angry or excited. Understanding what these signals mean can help students to take to action to keep themselves feeling physically comfortable and emotionally regulated - and ready to learn..
Sensory-Based Behaviour in the Classroom
This free guide introduces you to sensory processing, explains what sensory-based behaviour looks like in the classroom, and offers you actionable, easy strategies to make your school more inclusive of all students’ sensory needs.
An Advanced Practitioner in Sensory Integration says:
“Teachers often ask me if their student, who doesn’t have an autism diagnosis, can have sensory problems.
"I reply, absolutely! We all experience the world through our senses. For some people, including those without other diagnoses, the way that their brain and body handle and make sense of sensory input can cause challenges when completing daily tasks. That’s why learning more about sensory processing and how it affects behaviour benefits all students, regardless of diagnoses including autism or ADHD."
