This presentation, titled “Sensory Circuits: Empowering School Staff to Support Sensory Processing”, serves as a comprehensive training guide on the implementation of effective sensory circuits in a school environment to support all learners. The file covers the following key areas: Foundational Knowledge: Defines sensory circuits as structured physical activities designed to energize, organize, and calm a child’s nervous system. It introduces the eight sensory systems and explains how hypo- and hyper-sensitivity impact learning, behavior, and emotional regulation in school. Circuit Structure: Details the mandatory three-phase framework—Alerting, Organising, and Calming—emphasizing the Alert → Organise → Calm sequence for optimal learning readiness. Practical Application: Provides strategies for preparing and delivering the circuits, including understanding individual sensory profiles, ensuring safety and supervision, and using music and timing tools effectively. Activity Examples: Offers a repertoire of specific activities for each of the three phases (Alerting, Organising, Calming). Individualization and Integration: Discusses how to tailor circuits to meet diverse learner needs, assess individual preferences, and embed the circuits into daily school routines and a whole-school strategy for inclusion and wellbeing.

This is a sensory story I created for my topic 'seasons'. This was written for a PMLD/ CLDD class. I have written it with the sentence, the sense, the sensory experience and what I and my TAs are looking for and observing throughout the sessions. Repeat story throughout the term to enable the child to develop anticipation, investigation, awareness, preference and much more. Could also be used in an EYFS KS1 class.

A sensory story about a journey on safari. Story features a repetitive song throughout to develop anticipation. There is a resource to match each animal, detailed in the powerpoint. This story was written for a group of PMLD learners at the early steps within Routes for Learning, so adaption of resources etc might be necessary for your group.

This activity uses repetition and rhyme to take students through their own sensory trail into the spell bound forest. The resource is aimed at PMLD students and is flexible enough for teachers to alter the content according to their needs.
