Sensory processing is the organisation of sensory input received from the body and the environment for use in daily life. Children with sensory-processing difficulties have specific sensory issues that can negatively affect their attention and the quality of learning in the classroom. Through various visual and auditory activities along with various sensory-motor activities, the Attention and Sensory Group focuses on improving the following:

• Regulation and processing incoming sensory input
• Sustained attention (ability to remain on task)
• Selective attention (ability to remain on task with distractions)
• Alternating attention (ability to shift focus of attention between different tasks)
• Divided attention (ability to respond simultaneously to multiple tasks - highest level of attention)
• Sitting tolerance
• Turn taking
