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’.
