The materials supplied would be used in 6 ABA-based classroom K0-2nd grade. The students come from lower-income areas around Boston, Ma. The resources you provide will give the students adaptations needed to engage with their learning environment. The students I work with often need space to regulate their emotions. This space should be soothing, comforting and provide them will a safe place to calm their bodies. The materials you provide will be used in 6 classrooms. The materials will be used to create calm down spaces that are necessary to teach students coping skills and give them the tools they need to regulate their emotions. The materials you are providing will create a space where students can calm their bodies and learn how to self regulate. The rugs and bean bags will create a cozy space. The light tables will allow them to focus on a soothing activity while they reflect on the problem and learn about more appropriate solutions. The sensory balls will be a manipulative they can shake and use to take deep breaths. Breathing in and out while the glitter settles. Thank you so much for providing my students with these necessary tools.
