What is it?

Understanding

Sensory Circuits is a short and snappy sensory motor skills programme that helps to set pupils up for a school day. It enables children to reach the level of alertness needed to concentrate during lessons. Schools are currently using this programme because it is so effective. Ideally the circuit be held first thing each morning. Some schools run sensory circuits after lunch as well.

Sensory Circuits

Breakdown

Breakdown

The aim of this section is to provide vestibular stimulation within a controlled setting, preparing the brain for availability for learning and for the demands of the school environment.

This section includes activities that require multi-sensory processing and balance. The individual needs to organise their body, plan their approach and do more than one thing at a time in a set sequential order.

This section of a sensory circuit is perhaps the most important. The calming activities provide input to ensure that as children leave the circuit and return to the classroom they are as calm and centred and ready for the day as possible.

1. Alerting section

2. Organising section

3. Calming section

Activities such as climbing, hopping, balancing, looking and throwing into a target, hone skills that may increase a child’s focus, attention span and performance within the classroom setting.
