Our students have some severe sensory needs that interfere with their ability to focus and learn in a classroom setting. They need tools and training to increase balance, core strength, and sensory awareness. The tools I have selected for this project are a trampoline, scooter boards, balance rocks, and Body Sox. All of these tools have been recommended by Occupational Therapists as ways to help our students succeed. Using these tools will increase their stamina to complete academic tasks. Providing students with sensory breaks and therapies throughout the school day is best practice in order to see the students make progress towards their goals and succeed with the rigors of the classroom environment. With sensory equipment available in the school, our students will see improvement and success in a multitude of areas. When students are having fun or calming down with these sensory experiences, they are also building foundational skills that are essential to their academic learning. The rewards that will stem from this opportunity are truly immeasurable and will impact more students in more ways than we will ever know. Thank you for your time, consideration, and generosity towards this project.
