Sensory Quiz

Which environment do you find most appealing?

If you are generally sensory avoiding when it comes to sound, you like a quiet environment, which is difficult to get in a classroom setting. You may find yourself on edge or irritated when your class becomes chatty or loud.To self-regulate in a loud space, try giving yourself an auditory break by stepping into the quiet hallway, practicing deep breathing techniques, or having the class complete a quiet brain break activity like drawing or meditating.

Sensory Avoiding

If you are sensory mixed when it comes to sound, the situation or your mood may a play a role in how much sound you're willing to tolerate. You may also be sensory avoidant but just have developed great coping skills. When you find you're low energy, try listening to music. If you find that you're feeling on edge or overwhelmed find a way to quiet your surroundings by stepping into a quiet space or having your students do a quiet brain break like drawing.

Sensory Mixed

If you are generally sensory seeking when it comes to sound, you enjoy loud and sometimes unfamiliar noises. You are most uncomfortable in quiet or silent spaces.If your class is too quiet, play music in the background while you or students are working. Have an active brain break like a turn and talk or dance party to increase sound. Be thoughtful of sensory avoiding students whom this may dysregulate and give them an alternative task or space to work or a pair of headphones to dampen the noise.
