Identifying Sensory Strengths and Needs

Observing and recording a child or young person’s responses to sensory input is essential before introducing supports and strategies. 

Autism Level Up and the occupational therapist Kelly Mahler have some great resources to support the identification of sensory preferences.

This sensory audit from the Autism Education Trust is to help Early Years Professionals to assess and create an environment that enables the participation of all children.
