Home Our School Key Information Parents Children Curriculum H G Welcome to WHITE ASH SPECIAL SCHOOL TOGETHER, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE… Complex Sensory Needs Home Curriculum Sensory Learners Complex Sensory Needs Some of our children who have a diagnosis of Autism or have complex sensory needs struggle to regulate and interpret sensory inputs. This can often lead to withdrawal, distress or a display of challenging behaviours. These can create a barrier to learning for these children. Addressing these sensory issues often results in increased engagement with the curriculum and improves learning experiences; along with greater opportunities in school and at home. Children who have sensory difficulties benefit from a sensory diet programme, which is carefully planned to match the personal needs of each individual child throughout the school day. A sensory diet can include activities linked with the following sensory inputs: Proprioception - the sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body, including our sense of equilibrium and balance Vestibular - the sensory system that provides the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation Tactile Auditory VIsual Smell Taste Activities included in sensory diets Deep Pressure Trampolining Swimming Walking Sensory Processing Squeeze Machine Chewy Chews Weighted Blankets/Rucksacks Fun With Food (fussy eaters) Tactile Desensitisation Fun With Food (food sensitivity) View large version of image View large version of image View large version of image View large version of image Sitemap Cookie Information Website Policy Log in All website content copyright © White Ash Special School Website design byAPrimarySite Cookies Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
