Sensory Support Sheet

Communicating sensory tolerance quickly, without a conversation.

A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.

Sensory tolerance changes hour to hour. This sheet says where the levels are today — in ticks, not explanations.

Tolerance can change again by this evening. A one-line check-in — 'same as this morning?' — keeps it current.
