How jane functions in this area
At home, Jane is generally comfortable with sensory experiences. Loud sounds or unexpected touches can sometimes be a lot for her to handle, and she may need help to regulate her reactions. But, Jane enjoys exploring different textures when playing, and is becoming more adventurous with new foods. With gentle encouragement, Jane is learning to manage her sensory experiences and discover new things she enjoys.
In daily life at home, Jane's sensory experiences mean she sometimes finds loud family dinners overwhelming, and prefers quieter activities afterwards to recharge. She also has a keen eye for detail when helping sort laundry and enjoys the feeling of soft blankets, which helps her relax before bedtime.
In school, Jane is good at navigating different sensory experiences. She seems to enjoy active movement games at recess. Sometimes Jane gets a little distracted when there are a lot of noises in the classroom, so she may need support to refocus her attention at these times. Overall, Jane demonstrates effective sensory processing skills during the school day.
Jane's sensitivity to noise and bright lights in the classroom can sometimes make it harder for her to focus during lessons. She may also find busy times like lunch and group activities overwhelming, so providing Jane with a quiet space where she can take a break would be really helpful.
Jane's sensory experiences seem well-supported in both home and school environments. The consistency between settings suggests Jane feels comfortable and regulated across different contexts. It's wonderful that Jane isn't experiencing sensory overload or seeking out excessive sensory input in either environment. This alignment gives us a solid foundation to build upon as we consider other areas of Jane's development. It also highlights the supportive environments you've both created for her!
