I teach a learning support classroom for grades k-2. In this classroom there are students with many different disabilities, but the one thing they all have in common is a need for sensory integration. Although they have many sensory tools to help them calm down, they don't have a quiet/private place to use them. In my classroom I have students with autism, emotional disturbance and other disabilities. In this room it is so important to have time for motor and sensory release breaks to let out any anxiety, frustration and anger they may have. In a typical day my students have up to three sensory breaks throughout the day to help them distress and regain focus to continue their work. Sensory integration is a huge part of my class, however lately it has been getting very loud and overwhelming which takes away from the purpose of the sensory break. Since I teach three grades in one room, there is no quiet and private space to go when the students are in sensory overload.
