Sensory Break Ideas Poster
This attached resource is a clear and practical sensory break ideas poster designed to support children who need help to regulate their emotions and behaviour. It shows a wide range of simple sensory tools and activities, including fidget items, deep pressure supports, movement options, visual calming aids, and oral sensory tools. The resource is useful for social workers, teachers, and parents to prompt discussion, offer choices, and plan short sensory breaks at home, in school, or during sessions. It works well as a visual aid for children who struggle to explain what helps them calm or focus.
What Is Masking at School: Information Sheet
This poster explains what masking is and why it matters for children in education. It clearly describes masking in neurodivergent children, including autistic children and children with ADHD, sensory differences, and communication differences, while recognising that any child can mask. The poster supports teachers, SEN staff, social workers, and parents to understand why a child may appear to cope at school but struggle at home. It highlights the link between masking, behaviour, mental health, anxiety, and burnout, and shows how inclusive school environments can reduce the need for masking.
