The amazing kids I work with would benefit from special sensory, feeding, and self-care supplies to help them gain independence and improve their overall health and well-being. These children need a lot of assistance through sensory experiences to regulate and attend to participate in daily activities. Providing materials that incorporate these sensory needs will help the students be more aware of their environment, be more in tuned with what they are learning, and help them calm during more stressful events. As we assist with their sensory needs, we are also able to focus on their feeding and other self-care skills so that they can be more independent and healthy for participation in other areas of their lives. With the correct tools and supplies, we can help improve a child's sensory regulation, increase strength and coordination for movement and feeding, increase healthy sleep, decrease stress and anxiety, improve communication and social interaction, and increase the independence and increase each child's self efficacy and belief in their abilities. These tools can help increase so many skills that can have a never ending impact on the well being of multiple children. We will use sensory circles to provide necessary input and alerting or regulating stimuli, sensory items for increasing fine motor dexterity and awareness for academic tasks. Oral motor tools will be used to increase input,strength, stability, and coordination. Specialized trays and utensils will be used to increase interest and independence as well as educate on proper positioning and behavior management. I hope to use these tools to not only strengthen many skills, but also educate parents and children on how to continue to build upon their skills to continue growth and development.
