Practical, sensory-informed strategies to support regulation, participation, and learning in the classroom.
Understanding sensory needs is one thing. Knowing what to do about them during a busy school day is another.
The Sensory Supports for the Classroom Educator Resource Packet was created to give teachers and school professionals practical, easy-to-reference tools for recognizing sensory needs and incorporating supportive strategies into everyday classroom routines.
Rather than relying only on individualized sensory tools, this packet emphasizes proactive, whole-class supports that can be naturally incorporated throughout the school day—helping create a classroom environment where all students have more opportunities to regulate, engage, and learn.
• Guidance for recognizing common sensory patterns, including over-responsive, under-responsive, and sensory-seeking behaviors
• A simple framework for moving from observation to an appropriate support strategy
• Practical ideas for creating a more regulation-ready, sensory-friendly classroom
• Whole-class regulation strategies that can be incorporated into everyday routines
• Creative ways to incorporate proprioception and heavy work throughout the school day
• Strategies designed to support focus, self-control, participation, transitions, and readiness for learning
• Easy-to-reference visuals designed specifically with busy educators in mind
These resources are designed to help educators move beyond simply identifying a sensory behavior and begin asking:
What might this student’s sensory system be telling me—and how can I adjust the environment, activity, or routine to better support them?
The strategies can be used proactively with the whole class, making sensory support feel like a natural part of the classroom rather than something reserved only for students who are struggling.
Preschool and elementary educators, special education teachers, related service providers, school support staff, and other professionals looking for practical ways to create more sensory-informed and regulation-supportive learning environments.
