This is a poster package that I have created as a neurodiverse SEN teacher in an ERP base covering the behaviours associated with sensory seeking and avoiding. Each poster contains information on a variety of different sensory needs, signs to look out for, strategies that can easily be included in the school day and your child’s routine, and some useful links! I have taken my time to ensure all information detailed on these posters is informed by research and experience. I am grateful for any feedback received as I truly believe that sharing experience and knowledge improves practice and understanding. Information sharing is crucial at this time when we are welcoming many more children with SEN needs who deserve every chance to flourish and succeed in school.

SUITABLE FOR EYFS, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY I have provided this resource for free. There are more children than ever in our classrooms with unmet sensory needs. When unmet, these needs lead to disregulation and a lack of focus, which ultimately compromises the well-being and learning of the child and their classmates. Sensory diets are efficient and effective in ensuring the sensory needs of hyposensitive children are met so that they are ready to learn and feel regulated in the classroom. This pack contains a sensory diet template with key terms, and some suggested activities for sensory seekers and avoiders.

This is a free poster package of two posters with information on supporting children who are sensory avoiders or become disregulated through experiencing different sensations. Both posters are part of a larger package which details different sensory needs, including how sensory diets can be built for sensory seekers with useful links to different support networks. I am neurodivergent myself and have based these resources off of research, teaching experiences and personal experiences as a sensory avoider. Any feedback is well and truly welcome as I am new to creating resources and want children with SEND to get the best support they can. This will be achieved by obtaining feedback by professionals from a variety of SEND backgrounds!
