Topic: Sensory-Seeking Behaviour

Sensory-seeking behaviour refers to actions or activities that fulfil a need for sensory input or stimulation.

Individuals may seek out sensory experiences relating to touch, sound, smell, taste, movement, or visual stimuli. This can help them feel regulated, focused, or calm.

These resources explore different types of sensory-seeking behaviour and the reasons behind it, and prompt staff to consider ways to support individuals.
