TUS Sensory Awareness Guide delves into the often-overlooked challenges faced by individuals with sensory processing challenges, especially in academic settings. For neurodivergent students, sensory overload can interfere with everyday tasks, from studying to socialising. This e-book explains how sensory issues such as hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity impact daily life, particularly in the high-stimulation environments of universities.
The book explores how sensory modulation—whether it’s regulating overstimulation or seeking sensory input—can affect a student’s academic performance, emotional well-being, and social interactions. It provides practical strategies for students, educators, and support staff to recognise and address these challenges.
With a focus on creating sensory-friendly environments, the book offers actionable advice on everything from classroom settings to other student facing roles. By understanding the importance of sensory accommodations, the TUS Sensory Awareness Guide aims to foster inclusivity, reduce stress, and support students in managing their sensory needs. This guide is an essential resource for anyone supporting neurodivergent students in higher education.
