Students with disabilities sometimes have melt down moments. Students should have a safe, quiet area to go, and redirected until they are ready to learn. Having a vast variety of choices of materials and supplies in the classroom will not only inspire my students to use their expressive language and sensory skills, but will allow them to explore and create those life experiences that will be utilize and assist with making them productive citizens in the future. The students come to school with variable outliers that affects their emotion and before learning can take place, basics needs have to be address. The bean bags will be use for cool down spots in an area away from others. Students sometime need to get their thoughts together. Timers are assisting with time management and transitioning to the next activity and between classes. Headphones are definitely needed for audio books, independent work or noise reduction which some students desperately need. Lastly, sensory reinforcers such as therapy bands, fidgets, tactile manipulation assist students that cannot control certain outbursts or that cannot focus without major disruptions.
