How Demo functions in this area
Demo really enjoys exploring different textures and sounds around the house, and is good at letting you know what he likes and doesn't like. Sometimes Demo gets easily overwhelmed by bright lights or loud noises, so it helps to keep things calm and predictable for him at home. With a little support, Demo can manage these situations well.
Demo is very sensitive to certain textures, which can make getting dressed and mealtimes tricky. Loud noises at home can be overwhelming for him, so a calm environment really helps Demo feel secure and comfortable. With some simple strategies, like soft clothing and quiet activities, Demo can enjoy his time at home.
In school, Demo is generally comfortable with sensory experiences. He particularly enjoys active movement games at recess. Sometimes Demo is distracted by background noises in the classroom, like the heating system or students moving around. Providing Demo with a quiet workspace when he needs to focus can help him stay on task and feel more settled.
In the classroom, Demo learns best when things are quiet and calm. Unexpected loud noises like the fire alarm or boisterous games in the hall can be unsettling for Demo, so he may need help to refocus after these events. Having a quiet space available would help Demo feel safe and ready to learn.
Demo experiences his senses comfortably in both home and school environments. This alignment between settings suggests that Demo feels secure and regulated across different contexts. Because both environments are equally well-suited to Demo's sensory needs, it doesn't appear that he is masking or requiring additional support in one place versus the other. This consistency provides a solid foundation for Demo to engage fully in learning and play, without sensory distractions or overloads. Continuing to monitor Demo's sensory experiences will help maintain this positive balance as he grows.
