Why Use Sensory Circuits?
A sensory circuit includes alerting activities to increase arousal levels, followed by organising and calming activities that can involve deep pressure and breathing exercises.
Engaging in these sensory activities helps students regulate their sensory systems, leading to better focus and attention in the classroom.
These physical activities are designed to regulate a child’s level of alertness through vestibular and proprioceptive input. This helps prepare them for learning and participation in daily activities. Sensory circuits help with body awareness through proprioceptive input, which provides calming sensory input.
Sensory circuits are particularly beneficial for children with poor coordination and sensory processing difficulties. They are very effective in a school environment, where sensory-based movement activities can prepare all students for learning.
