Sensory Circuits Guide

Guide to planning, resourcing and implementing sensory circuits.

Sensory circuits are sensory-focused activities that provide a controlled level of sensory input, to help individuals regulate themselves. They can be particularly effective for those with sensory processing needs, and for neurodivergent individuals. Sensory circuits also complement a wider positive behaviour support approach.

Done regularly and systematically, sensory circuits can help individuals to build resilience, tolerance and self-confidence, reducing the likelihood of distressed, dysregulated behaviours.
