What is a Sensory Lifestyle?


Listen Later

'What is a sensory lifestyle?' is a question I see get asked a lot. The world of sensory can be very confusing - and sometimes scary! Especially when all sorts of jargon is being thrown around. And that's why I'm so excited to share this podcast episode with you today, all about sensory lifestyles.

I am interviewing Becky Lyddon, the founder of Sensory Spectacle to talk about sensory lifestyles and help you understand and help provide one for our students and children.

What Are We Talking About?

In this podcast episode, we are talking all about;

  • What is a sensory lifestyle?
  • Why is it important?
  • How can you create a sensory lifestyle?
  • Who would benefit from one?
  • How can we provide one when we are surrounded by technology?
  • What ways can we provide meaningful and motivating sensory filled days for our students?
  • I am so excited to be able to work with Becky to bring you a whole series of sensory podcast episodes. We actually have 6 podcast episodes planned for you in this series, and they are;

    1. Sensory and Behavior
    2. Sensory Profiles
    3. Sensory Tips and Activities to Try
    4. Creating a Sensory Room
    5. Sensory Lifestyle
