My students are dependent on tools to use for sensory integration. Students with autism process the environment differently, and often need accommodations and supports in order to focus in class. Imagine sitting in a freezer and someone trying to teach you something. You wouldn't learn much, right? For autistic students, regular classrooms can feel like a freezer. Sensory tools help these students remain calm in class, focus, and feel more comfortable. Students can use weighted blankets to help them calm down, or as a way to regulate their body so they can focus. Noise-canceling headphones help students block out noise that is annoying or distracting them. Leg bands and chair cushions help students by providing ways for them to move without distracting other students.
