Shownotes

In this week's episode, we shift focus from task boxes to address the critical topic of navigating students' sensory needs in special education. From recognizing the increasing concerns among educators regarding sensory issues, we are going to explore the diverse sensory profiles of students and their impact on learning experiences.

We'll talk about both hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity, providing practical examples and approaches to address sensory needs across various modalities, including auditory, tactile, visual, proprioceptive, vestibular, olfactory, and gustatory sensitivities. We will wrap up this episode discussing how to design a sensory-friendly classroom by incorporating movement breaks and utilizing sensory balls. Come join me on this comprehensive guide beyond the realm of task boxes.
