Use this tool to gather information about how a sensory meltdown began, occurred, and was resolved.  By reflecting on what happened, we can find the patterns and build strategies to help when the situation arises again. 

 

This will be a helpful tool to share with your team (mental health therapist, teacher, occupational therapist, behaviorist, etc).

​

Each person involved should complete this tool on their own, and then all can come together and see how the pieces of the sensory puzzle line up. 

​

This includes adult caregivers.  You also have a body and emotions that impact your behavior and perceptions.  Use this tool as a way to reflect on your experience with the sensory meltdown.  It will not only give you new insight, it will be a good role model for the child.
