Visual (seeing)

Sight is processed through the 'Visual' sense. Visual sensory stimuli is 'picked up' through visual receptors located in the eye and are stimulated by light, colour and movement.

This is different from problems involving sight or sharpness of vision. In this section, we will concentrate on students who have difficulty regulating visual input. Difficulties regulating visual input can result in sensitivity to light and moving images or a student may seek out increased amounts of visual input.

Activities

Proprioceptive (body awareness)

The proprioceptive system is located in our muscles and joints. It provides us with a sense of body awareness and detects/controls force and pressure. The proprioceptive system also has an important regulatory role in sensory processing as proprioceptive input can assist in controlling responses to sensory stimuli.

Proprioceptive input can be very calming for those who are easily overwhelmed by sensory stimulation.

Proprioceptive input can be alerting for those who need increased sensory stimulation to facilitate attention and learning.

Many students with autism seek proprioceptive input in order to regulate their emotional and behavioural responses to sensory stimulation.
