Sensory Profiles: 9th-12th Grade Lesson on Neurodiversity and Sensory Awareness
$9.00
This 20-minute lesson plan (with optional extension) introduces high school students to the concept of sensory profiles: what they are, why they matter, and how understanding your own can change the way you experience the world.
Every person has a sensory profile, but they vary dramatically. When students recognize that their classmates process sound, touch, movement, and sensation differently than they do, behaviors that get labeled dramatic, weird, or rude start to make sense. A natural fit for any high school SEL, neurodiversity, or self-advocacy curriculum.
This lesson introduces the language of neurodivergence, names common contexts where sensory differences show up (autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD), and frames the takeaway as a self-advocacy skill students can use throughout their lives.
This lesson plan requires no preparation and no additional materials. Read the script, do the activity, pass out the handout. That's it!
What's included:
Teacher script
Classroom activity with audio component
Student handout
