Sensory Processing Signs a Teacher Might Notice at School

Sometimes it's a teacher, not a parent, who first notices signs of sensory processing differences -- covering ears during assembly, avoiding messy activities, fidgeting constantly, or struggling to sit still through a lesson.

Why School Can Surface Different Signs Than Home

A classroom packs more noise, movement, shared materials and sensory demands into a structured day than most home environments, which can bring out sensory differences that are less obvious elsewhere.

These can include distress during fire drills or assemblies, reluctance to join messy or craft activities, unusual sensitivity to classroom noise or lighting, or seeking constant movement during seated work.

What to Do if a Teacher Raises This

Dr. Charu Arora notes that a teacher's observation is valuable information worth following up on, since it offers a different setting and perspective than what parents typically see at home.
