EBOOK: Supporting Sensory Needs: Educators and Parents of Children with Autism

In autism education, understanding the role of sensory processing is crucial. Sensory processing refers to the way the nervous system receives messages from the senses and turns them into appropriate motor and behavioral responses. For individuals with autism, sensory processing can be a major challenge. Many children with autism experience sensory sensitivities or sensory seeking behaviors that can impact their ability to learn and interact with their environment.
Parents and teachers play a vital role in supporting children with autism in managing their sensory needs. By recognizing and addressing sensory processing issues, parents and teachers can help create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment for children with autism. This can lead to improved communication, behavior, and overall well-being for the child.
