How do you know if your student may have a sensory processing disorder?  Certain symptoms may include: discomfort to textures, sensitive to smells, difficulty managing movements, discomfit of human touch,  unresponsive to pain, makes loud noises, constantly seeks oral stimulation, discomfort of light and sound and constantly fidgeting.  

A sensory integration diet should be implemented in every classroom to help students meeting their full potential andd to learn to regulate their behaviors appropriately.  It is important for all students to have access to sensory tools, equipment and activities to help them organize themselves in a successful manner.  Teachers must teach students how to provide the sensory input themselves or how to request sensory input to help them better regulate their behaviors.  

The next FOUR days will cover ways of integrating sensory activities within your classroom routine!
