(Please note that the size of the docx file means that it has been split into 2 parts. You will need to download both.)

SEND - Sensory Systems Poster
Children with Special Educational Needs and Disability can often experience the world in a different way to most. Children with sensory processing difficulties may over- or under-respond to sensory information their bodies receive. It can also sometimes be difficult for these children to express their feelings concerning this.
It is therefore important for parents/carers/teachers to be aware of the different systems involved with sensory difficulties. To that end we have created a poster which highlights the sensory systems:
Smell/Taste
Interoception
Tactile
Vision
Proprioception
Auditory
Vestibular
We hope it helps!

SEND - Meltdowns and Shutdowns - Posters

Sometimes this can result in an individual becoming completely overwhelmed, leading to a meltdown or shutdown.

We hope they help!
