Sensory Activity Schedules
Many autistic children and young people may experience differences in how they perceive and process sensory input, which can impact their regulation, attention, engagement, and emotional well-being. Sensory activity schedules are designed to provide breaks that support, the child or young person in regulating their sensory needs, allowing them to be in the best state for learning, social interaction, and participation in daily activities.

This training presentation explores the
What?  When?  Where? of sensory activity schedules, offering suggestions and guidance on the types of activities to be included, the frequency and duration of sensory breaks and where they can be carried out.
Suggestions for resources and activities that can help either calm or alert children and young people, based on their unique sensory needs will also be discussed. The presentation will address how sensory activity schedules can be implemented in both home and school settings.
