Sensory

An increasing number of children in classrooms today are in, or near, crisis because of mental health problems, autistic spectrum disorders, ADHD and other difficulties that are a barrier to learning. Our new range of calming and engaging sensory products can help de-stress and re-focus children of all ages - not just early years - and help them to engage more fully with the learning environment.

In addition, the capacity to change background lighting can also be beneficial for children who suffer from visual stress, which is often co-morbid with other learning difficulties. Studies have shown, for example, that facial recognition can improve for people with autism when they wear tinted spectacles of the right colour. You may find that not only does the behaviour of certain children calm down in specific lighting conditions, but that reading and writing - for those children who are at this stage of development - improves as well. If you discover this, make sure you check out our wide range of visual stress support resources that can continue to help them away from the sensory area.
