Sensory Circuits
What are Sensory Circuits?
A sensory circuit is a short plan of physical activities that enables children to achieve an optimal level of alertness needed to access the classroom and the learning. A circuit can last between 5 - 15 minutes and involve working through three distinct stages; alerting, organising and calming. In school, our aim is to deliver a sensory circuit which enables the child to regulate well enough to engage in class activities.
