Autism, the Special School Student and Sensory Processing
Many autistic children and young people have differences in how they process the sensory stimuli in the world around them. This course is designed to look specifically at the sensory processing needs of autistic children and young people with other complex learning needs, such as communication difficulties, physical or sensory difficulties, attention difficulties and medical needs.

Participants will:

  • Understand the concept of sensory processing and how this relates to participation in daily activities.
  • Appreciate how sensory processing differences can affect the child or young person at home, in school and in other settings.
  • Understand the importance of exploring each child or young person’s unique sensory profile in order to create environments to support their regulation
  • Gain knowledge about supportive approaches, which can address the sensory processing needs of the children and young people with additional and complex learning needs at home, in school and in other settings.
