# Sensory

### Sensory Needs

#### Some pupils in school have an identified sensory need, this could be linked to Autism or sensory processing. All classrooms have sensory toolkits and sensory circuits to support pupils in class. In addition to this, some pupils have a sensory profile which includes a sensory diet. We have a dedicated sensory room that our pupils love to use to help them to reregulate.

#### In school we support pupils with their sensory needs by completing a sensory profile and creating a sensory diets. This is supported by 3 sensory stations that are set up around school and by activities in the outdoor environment. Here is some information about our sensory stations -
