One of the ways #autistic children and their families are supported at @TCSCambs is their parent room which allows parents who are able to work from home to work there whilst still being on site for their children https://t.co/OgVJ5PJehs via @YouTube

Sensory toys can be expensive. Have you tried making your own? Two simple options that you can try with your child are water balloons and a @LEGO_Group fidget spinner.

Our Outdoor Lead, Ms Hyde, has a fun activity that you can try at home with your child: make your own bug hotel!

We would love to see your child’s creativity, remember to tag us in your photos.

We use the #ZonesOfRegulation to help our children to identify how they are feeling and provide them with more tools to communicate their needs.

Why not try this at home using @LEGO bricks, using red, yellow, blue and green to represent themselves and how they feel?

Cereal is not just for breakfast. Have you tried making an edible #SandTray?

If you have Rice Krispies or Coco Pops, grind or blend them to a sand-like texture, sprinkle it in an easy to clean tray and use it as a base to explore with diggers or other toys.

From using the Zones of Regulation framework, to leaving a room to using sensory equipment, all of our pupils are encouraged to use sensory strategies and approaches that work for them – both at school and beyond.
