Autism and Sensory Processing Sensory processing differences are a core part of autistic neurology. In primary school classrooms, often busy, noisy, and unpredictable, sensory experiences can strongly shape a child's regulation and ability to engage. Sensory distress is not misbehaviour. It is the nervous system communicating. Participants will develop a shared understanding of: How sensory processing affects regulation, learning, and participation. Why children respond differently to the same environment. The importance of identifying each child's individual sensory profile. How to adapt classrooms, routines, and expectations to support comfort and agency. The emphasis is on changing environments, not children.
