Sensory Curriculum and Occupational Therapy

At Rosehill School, we recognise that many autistic children and young people experience sensory processing differences, which can affect learning, communication, behaviour and everyday activities.

Sensory regulation is an important part of our curriculum and daily practice. We work closely with Occupational Therapists and trained staff to help pupils achieve a calm, regulated and "ready to learn" state.

How We Support Pupils

• Sensory regulation activities throughout the school day
• Individual sensory strategies and support plans
• Sensory-equipped learning environments and regulation spaces
• Multisensory teaching approaches
• Specialist advice and guidance from Occupational Therapists
• Access to sensory resources and equipment, where appropriate

Impact

Our sensory approach helps pupils to:

• Feel safe, regulated and ready to learn
• Develop independence and self-regulation skills
• Improve participation in learning and everyday activities
• Build communication, attention and engagement
• Prepare for adulthood and future transitions
