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.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Children aged 5 to 7 years old who have basic concept of colours, shapes and are able to follow one-step instructions.
