The classroom can be challenging for kids with special needs, such as those diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and other sensory disorders. Using a sensory approach can go a long way toward helping these children find focus and reduce stress brought on in the classroom. Taking a sensory processing approach to modifying the behaviors is a great way to help with behavior management in our classroom. I want to provide my students an opportunity to modulate their sensory issues while maintaining the level of appropriate behavior required at school. Therapy ball chairs make great classroom seating for children with trouble sitting still. A student seated on a ball chair gently bounces in place can get the sensory input they need to focus on their learning, muscle tone, and posture improvement. A Classroom Calming Corner is a quiet area in the classroom equipped with soft furnishings and soothing materials to help a student de-escalate when the negative behavior occurs. I want to build a positive place that rewards students for keeping their emotions in check and using strategies to calm themselves so that learning can occur.
