Environmental factors
Analyse the environment if a child is struggling through the school day
What sort of lighting is on? Does it flash? Is it fluorescent? Is the sun over their desk?
What is the sound like? Close your eyes and listen beyond the noise of the children?
How busy is the classroom? Are people up and moving about? How are the tables/desks placed?
Is the child giddy after break and struggles to settle?
