Sensory Regulation and Sensory Processing
Sensory Processing and Sensory Regulation refers to the way a student can be part of a classroom filled with sensory information. Students that have difficulty processing and regulating sensory information will have a more difficult time attending to tasks, playing appropriately and completing school-related tasks. Activities to promote improved sensory processing include:
- Participating in heavy work
- Walking to school
- Eating chewy foods
- Drinking thick liquids through a straw
- Use of weighted blankets
- Activities with a sensory bin
