Over 100 Sensory Tools For Back To School

Over 100 Sensory Processing Disorder Tools & Tips For Back To School

It's that time again when children go back to school for another year or they are just beginning their journey and starting school for the first time.

I have created a list of helpful sensory tools for children who have Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism (ASD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to make things a little easier for them.

Children with additional needs can often struggle at school. School can be a very overwhelming scary place for them. Each child is different with different sensory needs and each child will require sensory different tools.

It can be overwhelming for our kids when they go back to school. It is important to keep things as close to the same for them as last year. They're adjusting to a lot of new changes and routine since being away from school for the summer or just starting school for the first time.

Include as many familiar items as possible to start their school year: Using the same backpack, wearing the same shoes as last year, using last year's lunchbox or pencil case. They are already adjusting to a lot of new changes with new classmates, a new teacher and a new environment.

If your mornings were rough in previous years because of early morning socks or underwear struggles, then maybe trying some sensory friendly socks or underwear this year to make mornings easier on them (for you too).

Remove tags from their clothing and purchase comfortable sensory friendly clothing for them. Clothing sensitivities can be quite distressing for children who have Sensory Processing Disorder. Let them be a part of the process by choosing the colors, choosing the styles that they will enjoy and trying them on to see how they feel.

Sensory Processing Disorder Preparing For Individual Education Plans Meeting

- bring an advocate or a trusted friend
- prepare any questions you have
- review your child's school records before attending
- research your child's needs and behaviors
- makes lists of accommodations
- ask your child what they need at school
- know your child's rights and your parental rights
- gather your child's assessments and records
- bring a list of what your would like to achieve
- don't be afraid to speak up for your child's needs
- prepare a list of your concerns
- have your documentation organized
- IEP meetings don't have to be negative, think positive

Some children will need fidgets for focus while others will need weighted products for calming. Allow your child to be part of the process when choosing the color or tool they would like from the few choices you give them that will work best for their sensory diet.

School can be challenging for our children. Providing them with sensory tools and sensory breaks for their sensory diet will assist them to feel calmer and more confident about school.

Children who have Sensory Processing Disorder should have sensory breaks throughout the day to keep them regulated. They need a sensory diet regularly, even when they are not displaying the need for it. We should not wait until they are already dysregulated to accommodate their sensory needs.

The change in a child's routine may be very challenging and a visual schedule can assist your child to prepare them for what is next in their day. This will ease anxieties about returning to school. Slowly ease back into routine changes. Begin making slow changes leading up to the first day of school. Getting up earlier, scheduling mealtimes, going to bed earlier and a morning routine.

Sensory Processing Disorder Classroom Self-Regulation

- providing child with ear protection for noise sensitivity
- giving the child options for alternative seating
- allowing child to chew gum or sensory chew toy
- attaching stretchy bands to the child's chair
- providing sensory tools (weighted lap pad/wiggle seat)
- letting the child use fidgets
- scheduling breaks to move and walk
- playing on the playground
- scheduling heavy work activities
- providing auditory breaks for child in a quiet environment
- brushing and joint compressions
- accommodating sensory diet through the day
- scheduling occupational therapy during school hours
- providing a sensory space to listen to relaxing music

Abruptly changing schedules can be extremely difficult for kids who have Sensory Processing Disorder, so it is best to start with 10-15 min changes at a time so they're not feeling too overwhelmed by big changes to their routine the day before school starts.

Some children will have anxieties about starting school or going back to school. Sometimes it can be very helpful to read a few books to your child about going to school to ease their anxieties (I have some books posted below).

Prepare a calm down kit for your child for when they are at school. Most schools require you to include this accommodation in your child's 504 plan or IEP (Individual Education Plan). These items would be calming sensory tools to help them stay focused, calm and regulated.

If your child is required to pack a lunch for school, include their favorites and foods that they will eat. Keep it as familiar as possible for them.

Sensory Processing Disorder Classroom Routine Accommodations

- posting visual schedules where the child can see them
- giving warning ahead of schedule of any changes
- keeping consistency in daily routine
- scheduling recess times and not taking them away
- using visual photos of sensory input choices
- posting visual directions and expectations around the classroom
- having flexible drop off and pick up times
- scheduling sensory breaks throughout the day

Fill your child's sensory diet each morning before they go to school and include sensory breaks in their IEP (Individual Education Plan). Good luck! You got this! Your child will do great!

Seat Wedge for Active Children - for Restless Kids - Alernative Classroom Seating

Sitting on a seat wedge can provide benefits to both children and adults.

Sitting on the wedge helps tilt the pelvis forward slightly. This position can help the user enhance the inward curve of the back, and sit in a more upright position.

The wedge is also beneficial for children that have trouble sitting still. It allows for children to wiggle, rock, and move back and forth, while remaining seated. This can have a calming effect on the child, thereby increasing focus, and attention.

The level of inflation can be adjusted using the included pump. Adding air will create a surface that makes balance more challenging, and can encourage movement. Decreasing the level of inflation will provide a steadier seat.
