Why meet the sensory needs of children in education?
“Sensory experiences help children understand their environments and support them to feel safe and secure. A well-developed sensory system is essential for both cognitive and social intelligence and is therefore required for children to become successful learners”
Children’s sensory systems are finely tuned to gather information from their surroundings, which is then relayed to their nervous system. This information is carefully processed by the nervous system, prompting corresponding response or reaction to their surroundings.
Through sensory experiences, children gain a deeper comprehension of their environment, fostering a sense of safety and security. A robust sensory system plays a pivotal role in nurturing cognitive and social intelligence, therefore forming a vital foundation for children’s success and learners.
