Abstract

This research article delves into the multifaceted realm of sensory education, exploring its essence in the context of nurturing the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children with special needs. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates quantitative assessments, including standardized tests and surveys, with qualitative insights gathered through interviews and classroom observations. Preliminary findings reveal diverse sensory processing patterns among children with special needs and underscore the positive impact of targeted sensory interventions on academic performance, adaptive behaviors, and stakeholder perspectives. The synthesis of these results contributes to a nuanced understanding of the transformative potential of sensory education, advocating for its integration into educational frameworks to create inclusive and supportive learning environments for all children.
