Sensory Spaces in Schools 

This booklet shares information and advice on sensory processing and how to use sensory spaces to support students.

 

The Physical Classroom Environment: Creating Universal Learning Spaces (Primary & Post-Primary)

This booklet is aimed at primary and post-primary teachers as a resource for them to think about the physical environment of their classroom and how changes can be made to support all students’ learning. Teachers are encouraged to consider the following:

  • what they are already doing well in the classroom

  • how to review the range of practical, evidence-based strategies

  • how to apply some of the suggestions to the classroom environment

  • reflect individually and with students on the changes, and adapt to them as necessary.

 

Classroom Sensory Screening Tool

This is a handy little tool that can be used to reflect on the sensory environment in your classroom and identify best practices that could be implemented to improve things depending on the space and students in front of you.
