Many of the students in our program have trouble self-regulating. This can happen when they become frustrated or upset often due to not being understood or because of sensory stimuli. Our hope is that through the use of sensory based items and activities, our students will expand their ability to self-soothe and self-regulate. Self-regulation is the key to successful learning for our students!! The items in this project were chosen because they represent a variety of textures and shapes exposing our students to different sensory stimuli. The integration of these items will provide the child with sensory information which helps organize the central nervous system, assist the child in inhibiting and/or modulating sensory information, and help the child to process a more organized response to sensory stimuli. The foam, play dough, water marbles, and types of sand provide choices for our students to explore and regulate their responses to different textures and shapes while counting and exploring numbers at the same time. Our goal is to have our students use sensory integration tools to learn to self-soothe and regulate. When a student is more focused and calm, they are able to participate more fully and independently in their learning. These items will be incorporated into daily lessons to support learners by helping them focus and regulate their bodies.
