The "Sensory Audit" Tool
A Neuro-Affirming Social Story
Parent Communication Templates
Data Tracking Log and Implementation Guide
When a child struggles with turn-taking, personal space, or reading the room, generic advice like "be polite" doesn't work. They need a structured plan. The Social Communication Toolkit is a comprehensive, professional framework designed to demystify social skills. Created by Educational Psychology First, this package moves beyond basic checklists and provides a complete system for identifying gaps, targeting deficits, and scaffolding success.
What's Included in this digital download?
The Audit: A hierarchical skills checklist.
The Activity Menu: Targeted interventions for skill deficits.
Visual Support Tools: Cue cards for the environment.
The Review Cycle: Tools for reflection and progress monitoring.
This PDA Incident Review Tool is designed to shift the school’s perspective from discipline to discovery. By auditing the environment, the communication style, and the specific demands that triggered the "smoke detector" in the brain, staff can move from being "enforcers" to "detectives."
The Fillable Incident Review Form: A professional, easy-to-use PDF that guides staff through a non-punitive audit of the event.
The Demand Audit Checklist: Identify exactly which triggers (direct commands, public corrections, or sensory overload) led to the crisis.
The 4-Step Implementation Protocol: A clear guide on what to do with the data once it's collected—how to adjust the environment, repair the relationship, and update the student's support plan.
The PDA Sensory Sorting Toolkit is a low-demand, collaborative activity that allows the student to become the "expert" on their own nervous system. Instead of an intimidating interview, this toolkit uses a simple, tactile sorting game to identify what feels safe and what feels like a threat.
21 Sensory Category Cards: Clear, descriptive cards covering Auditory, Visual, Tactile, Movement, and Internal (Interoception) triggers.
The Low-Demand Teacher's Guide: A one-page briefing for staff on how to facilitate the activity using parallel work and declarative language to avoid triggering demand avoidance.
Understanding the "Why": A guide to the four primary reinforcers of school avoidance (Sensory Stressors, Social Situations, Attention Seeking, or Outside Rewards).
The Push-Pull Framework: A breakdown of how negative school factors ("Pushes") interact with the perceived safety of home ("Pulls").
Assessment Tools: A student-led Card Sorting Activity featuring common barriers like school corridors, uniforms, and "safe adults" to identify individual triggers.
Graduated Response Strategies: A reference guide of Reasonable Adjustments (e.g., early leaver passes, soft starts, and curriculum reduction).
