Claire Droney has been working with people with autism since 2004. First, as a special class teacher and then as an advisory teacher for children with autism in mainstream schools.

In this video, we look at sensory processing difficulties, a key area of difference in autism.

We explore:

• What the proprioceptive and vestibular senses actually mean
• Why sensory difficulties can often be mistaken for behaviours that challenge
• How autistic students can be both hypo (under) and hyper (over) sensitive in the same day
• Strategies to cope with sensory difficulties

This is the fifth video in the series, be sure to watch the rest.
