Creating a Spectrum of Learning is a practical guide for parents, educators, and caregivers to incorporate sensory activities that support children’s physical and emotional development. This ebook introduces sensory circuits—structured routines that help regulate sensory input, enhance focus, and promote self-regulation, with particular benefits for children with special educational needs (SEN) and in classroom settings. It provides comprehensive guidance on planning and implementing circuits in schools, homes, and homeschooling, along with ideas for effective activities to foster attention, motor skills, and social engagement. The book also explores "Attention Time," a structured method for boosting focus, and "Visual Timetables" to aid in managing routines, both essential for supporting children through daily transitions. Complete with examples and ready-to-use exercises, Creating a Spectrum of Learning equips adults to build supportive environments where children can thrive.
