Sensory & SEN notes

Sensory-seeking suitable: active dribbling motion, court squeaks, and loud cheers.

PDA-safe: spectator match format that presents athletic skills without tasks.

Whether this suits your child depends on which way they lean sensory-wise, and the two are often confused: the difference between sensory seeking and sensory avoiding.
