6. To manage Ds?s sensory processing needs to enhance his concentration in the school environment so he can fully access the NC and make progress with his learning.
a) The SENCO will ensure all adults working with DS are aware of environmental factors that may affect his sensory needs eg. Noisy classrooms, crowded cloakrooms etc.
b) The class teacher will at their discretion, liaise with the Occupational Therapist to devise and monitor a sensory diet (ie. Sensory activities) to be integrated into the school day at regular intervals and particularly before tasks that require sustained attention. (If the majority of DS?s behaviours are deemed to be caused by motivational factors, rather than sensory needs, regular rewarding breaks throughout the day may be sufficient). This will be facilitated by a named adult as part of class routines.
c) The class teacher will provide DS with a workstation or area with reduced distractions for independent work.
d) The class teacher/SENCO will consider the use of ear defenders for DS at particularly noisy times after consulting with the Occupational Therapist.
e) The class teacher will review DS sensory diet with the relevant professionals and adjust it as necessary to take account of DS?s progress and changing needs.
