There are times when students come down to the team room to take a break from the hustle and bustle of their busy classrooms. I would love to be able to offer the students some sensory play materials, like the washable balls and noodles, during their chill out (break) time. The vibrating pillows can be used as chair toppers to offer enticing seating options for students who struggle to stay focused during work times. The vibrating fidgets can be options for students whose sensory systems need calming throughout the day. I know that these materials will support students to be calm and focused in their classrooms, and will be enjoyed by students during their chill out times in the team room. Self-control can be an area of life long challenges for our special population. Teaching them ways to calm is essential to their independence.
