Sensory Strategies

Across Settings

We all need breaks, but some children and adults need “sensory strategies” with daily activities to help self-regulate. (A person with Sensory Processing Disorder can have difficulty receiving, interpreting and acting upon messages from the senses, a kind of “neurological traffic jam.”)

Brain Breaks:

Brain Breaks are a quick and effective way of changing or focusing the physical and mental state of the learners in your group. They are also a useful tool for students to use to help activate, energize and stimulate their brains. Research indicates that brain breaks also improve students’ concentration and relieve stress.
