Children with Special Educational Needs and Disability can often experience the world in a different way to most. Children with sensory processing difficulties may over- or under-respond to sensory information their bodies receive. It can also sometimes be difficult for these children to express their feelings concerning this.

It is therefore important for parents/carers/teachers to be aware of the different systems involved with sensory difficulties. To that end we have created a poster which highlights the sensory systems:

• Smell/Taste

• Interoception

• Tactile

• Vision

• Proprioception

• Auditory

• Vestibular

We hope it helps!

Keywords: autism, autistic, non-verbal, non verbal, feeling, feelings, sensory processing, over-responsive, under-responsive
