In the last episode, Maria and I covered noise sensitivity in schools. It was such a big topic that we decided to dedicate an episode to it on its own. But noise sensitivity isn’t the only sensory need in schools. The school environment can impact all of the other senses which have a huge impact on a neurodivergent persons school experience. In this episode, we dive into each of these sensory needs, discussing the potential challenges and offering practical solutions. Drawing from my personal experience and Maria’s extensive background as a teacher in various educational settings, we aim to highlight the sensory challenges students face and provide useful strategies to support them.

I hope this episode helps you to understand the sensory needs of neurodivergent students, and enables you to make adaptations and adjustments that will undoubtedly make a huge difference.
