Typical Classroom Sensory-Based Problem Behaviors & Suggested Therapeutic Interventions available at https://www.yourtherapysource.com/mccaigue.html

School based occupational and physical therapists play a key role in suggesting therapeutic interventions for students with sensory based behaviors.  It is our job to educate teachers, parents and students as to why a child’s behaviors may be sensory based and what sensory strategies can be used to help that child better navigate the educational environment.

Typical Classroom Sensory-Based Problem Behaviors & Suggested Therapeutic Interventions by Illeana McCaigue, OTR offers many suggestions for therapeutic interventions for 12 different problem behavior categories. The classroom sensory based problem behaviors include the following:

  1. Sitting/Poor Work Tolerance
  2. Vision/Attention Related
  3. Oral/Facial Related
  4. Visual Sensitivities
  5. Tactile/Proprioceptive/Personal Space Issues

  9. Delayed Immature/Inefficient Grasp Pattern
  10. Visual/Proprioceptive Sensory Seeking Wrist/ Hands
