My autistic students often struggle with learning social and emotional skills. They can especially benefit from support to increase self-awareness and emotional regulation skills. We would like to have daily yoga/ meditation sessions where we can focus on and practice techniques to increase these skills, such as, deep breathing, relaxation, focusing on positive thoughts, and recognizing and keeping personal space. By practicing these and many other techniques, our students will have more positive interactions with their peers and teachers, as well as be more successful learners! These yoga mats will enable our students to be safe, comfortable & more successful as we hold daily yoga/ meditation sessions! Our plan is that the materials will also be able to be used by future classes as well. Our ultimate goal is that our students will use the skills gained during these yoga/ meditation sessions to be more successful throughout their school careers and beyond!
