Abstract
Understanding and meeting students' sensory needs is crucial for optimizing their academic performance and overall well-being in school settings. However, the current approach often lacks specific sensory interventions for distinct needs. This Doctoral Capstone Experience (DCE) aims to address this gap by developing tailored sensory plans for each student and educating teachers on identifying and addressing these needs. By emphasizing implementation of specific sensory approaches over blanket application, it seeks to create inclusive classrooms. Through staff education and creation of sensory corner, the intervention aims to enhance teachers’ knowledge and competency in meeting students’ sensory needs. Outcome measures include pre- and post-intervention surveys to assess changes in staff knowledge, comfort level with the intervention plan, and trends in student behavior. Qualitative data analysis will evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of specific sensory interventions. Ultimately, this project aims to deepen understanding of creating tailored sensory plans and inform educational practices to better accommodate diverse student needs, fostering an inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive.
