Identifying Barriers to Implementing Sensory Strategies in the Classroom Setting

Identifying Barriers to Implementing Sensory Strategies in the Classroom Setting: a Teacher's Perspective

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine barriers to implementing sensory strategies in the classroom setting as well as potential supports needed in teachers and paraprofessionals 18 years and older who are actively working in the classroom setting. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What are common themes that limit classroom staff from implementing sensory strategies within the classroom setting?
2. What support do classroom staff need from an occupational therapist to feel confident in implementing sensory strategies within their classroom?

Participants will be asked to participate in a 17-item electronic survey via Google Forms. They will be asked to provide informed consent prior to participating.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years or older
• Active teacher or paraprofessional working in the classroom

Exclusion Criteria:

• Younger than 18 years old
• Teachers or paraprofessionals no longer actively working in the classroom setting
