Many of our students have specific sensory needs which can impact on their learning.
Research tells us that including sensory activities in daily programs enhances student learning. We incorporate a number of sensory techniques and programs in our teaching.
The Fiela program is a European program which is particularly successful for students with visual and mobility problems.
Multi-sensory
Multi-sensory stories have been developed at Fisher Road School by a joint collaboration between teaching and information technology staff to complement and extend literacy and computer programmes already offered.
Snoezelen
Snoezelen was introduced to Fisher Road School in 1998. It provides stimulation to the primary senses through seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and moving.
The school has an amazing sensory room where students can relax and enjoy soothing music, multi-coloured lights, aromatherapy and massage.
