Sensory Profile Each child brings their sensory profile with them everywhere they go, including to school. Adults also have a sensory profile, and this impacts their preferences, needs and how (well) they operate in different environments. When we understand a child's sensory profile, we can plan with these in mind. We can tailor planning and make adaptations to better accommodate a child's sensory profile, thereby providing a more engaging and happier learning environment. e.g. someone who is vestibular seeking would likely benefit from frequent movement breaks, yoga or stretching during learning, using a standing desk etc. We can also use this insight in supporting our colleagues, by observing, noting and allowing for their sensory needs.
