Sensory strategies allow students to gain independence in their learning and make the choices that work best for them. When they are given the sensory support they need they can sit and focus on the teacher's instruction or participate in a learning task. Without the support they may be distracted by their own sensory needs and become unable to learn. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a sensory strategies to help them regulate. They are more independent and require less prompts or assistance from an adult to engage in routines, tasks and activities within the educational environment. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are will allow students to sit at circle time or at tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The compression vests provide deep pressure that is soothing and calming. It is like getting a deep hug while still allowing the student to engage and participate in classroom activities. The calming ball enables students to obtain a little extra hug when they are feeling dysregulated and need a little more support. I have seen how sensory support can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
