Low Sensory School Tour

Transitioning from one school location to another can be challenging and stressful for a new student, especially for those students with ASD, sensory sensitivities or anxiety. After consultation with parents and our local primary schools we have produced this evidence-based, low-sensory school tour for our Year 7 2021 students. This tour allows students to move virtually through the school environment showing them the main buildings they will access, the layout of the school, available facilities and potential environmental barriers they could encounter in their first few weeks of school. It helps to provide a sense of safety and assurance that helps to alleviate anxieties and worries about moving around the new school environment.

 

A sensory guide is also attached to the video that describes the smells, noises, sounds, possible triggers, and distractions in the environment, to provide further support to students.

 

By providing this virtual experience it is our hope that our students enter the new school environment with confidence and a growing sense of belonging. We look forward to meeting you in 2021 and helping you on your journey to become a learner who flourishes.
