Editorial Reviews

This is an excellent resource for all teachers, parents and carers.... Children have immensely varying needs and Deb Hopper’s detailed checklist and resources have helped us (and others) to tailor our classroom environments and practices to engage students to enhance their learning. A must read!! Mike Dye, Principal

The SESC is an outstanding resource. Simple strategies are provided to help teachers make accommodations to improve students learning. I would highly recommend that all schools purchase the School Environment Sensory Checklist as it will be a valuable asset to have as part of their resources. Lisa Hughes, Occupational Therapist

The SESC is a great resource! It is not easy to consolidate such a complex and extensive subject into ‘bite size chunks’ of digestible and usable information. The use of this checklist will help make this topic seem less overwhelming and more easily manageable for busy classroom teachers. Melissa Savonoff, Occupational Therapist
