• Discern a child’s unique pattern of out-of-sync behavior
• Help a child recover after a meltdown
• Develop strategies to prevent future meltdowns
• Approach a child who is simultaneously oversensitive to one kind of stimulation and undersensitive to another kind
• Help children identify their own needs for the right amount of sensory stimulation
• Collaborate with parents, occupational therapists, and other professionals on a child’s behalf
• Provide a safe, appropriate, “sensory diet” in the classroom that will benefit all students
• Structure a calm and organized classroom
