Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This e-book explains how sensory issues such as hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity impact daily life, particularly in the high-stimulation environments of universities. The book explores how sensory modulation—whether it’s regulating overstimulation or seeking sensory input—can affect a student’s academic performance, emotional well-being, and social interactions. It provides practical strategies for students, educators, and support staff to recognise and address these challenges.
