Getting to Understand Sensory Needs:
▪ Adults should provide opportunities for children to
explore and understand their sensory needs.
▪ For children who are struggling, this should involve
a detailed exploration followed by a plan made with the child to reduce
any stressors caused by over or under sensory responsiveness.
▪ Using the Needs cards helps provide a visual reminder
and a language the child can use to communicate their
needs in the future.
▪ Children should be supported
to prepare to do well –
‘Predict to prevent,
Plan to Succeed’.
