Arousal is about the activation of our senses. Levels of arousal can influence a person’s level of alertness and engagement with their surroundings. When a person is under-aroused, sensory modulation techniques can awaken their senses, gently nudging them towards a state of heightened alertness and engagement with their surroundings. When a person is over-aroused, sensory
modulation can offer a way to move from sensory-related distress to a calm-alert state in which a person is able to function at their best.
The arousal rating scale is a simple tool to know where on the scale of arousal a person is before and after using different sensory tools.
