#373 - Sensory Seekers in the Classroom: How to Help Kids Who Can’t Sit Still
Do you have a student who’s always moving, touching everything, or humming non-stop? They might be a sensory seeker—a child with a high sensory threshold who craves extra input to feel regulated.
In this episode of All Things Sensory, we break down what sensory seeking really means, why it can look different for every child, and how to proactively support these students in the classroom. We’ll share real-life examples, practical strategies you can start using tomorrow, and the one thing you should never take away from a sensory seeker.
Plus—we’ve got a free Sensory Preferences Checklist to help you understand each child’s unique needs!
