Sensory passport | SEND | ASD

A comprehensive sensory profile booklet designed to help staff understand, support, and respond to individual sensory needs.

A4 and A5 booklet version included.

This Sensory Passport Booklet is a practical tool to identify and record a pupil’s sensory preferences across a wide range of areas. It supports consistent, personalised provision in SEND, autism, and SEMH settings.

The booklet explores sensory preferences including:

• Lighting
• Visual environment
• Tactile input
• Sound
• Oral sensory needs
• Smell
• Body awareness / proprioception
• Movement
• Environment
• Temperature
• People / social preferences

Each section allows adults to identify preferences such as deep pressure, minimalist environments, quiet spaces, heavy work, fidget tools, weighted equipment, and more.

Why Use a Sensory Passport?

• Useful for EHCP evidence and reviews
• Encourages trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practice

Ideal for:

This booklet can be completed collaboratively with parents, carers, and professionals to ensure consistent strategies across home and school.
