Lesson 6 of 8 · 1:57
Neurodivergent students may experience the world differently through their senses and emotions. Everyday classroom environments—including sounds, lights, textures, routines, and social expectations—can sometimes feel overwhelming or distressing, influencing how students respond, engage, and learn.
In this lesson, you'll explore how sensory processing and emotional regulation can vary among neurodivergent learners. By understanding these differences, educators can create supportive classroom environments that promote emotional safety, participation, and well-being.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
Recognize common sensory and emotional differences in neurodivergent students.
Understand how sensory experiences can influence behaviour, learning, and participation.
Identify signs that a student may be experiencing sensory or emotional overwhelm.
Apply supportive classroom strategies that foster emotional regulation and create a more inclusive learning environment.
