We have been learning about the impact of Trauma, as well as how sensory processing can get in the way of academic learning. In order to access the academic content of a lesson, children need to have their sensory needs met. One in 6 children show signs of a sensory processing disorder, which means that in a typical classroom, there will be several students who have sensory needs that must be addressed in order for them to learn. Academic learning, daily living activities, and appropriate behaviors all develop from a strong sensory foundation. Some children need sensory tools to assist them in taking in and efficiently processing sensory information. I would like to purchase the below materials to use as resources for the students in our school with sensory needs. Since there are 7 sensory systems (visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, olfactory, vestibular, and proprioceptive), there are a variety of tools that would be helpful. Some of the items I am asking for will help meet these needs of students- Sound Reducing Headphones, for my Auditory Processing students to help minimize noise/distractions from classroom, while still being able to hook up to teachers microphone systems, to hear and get their instructions. Weighted and heated/cooled stuffed animals, provided sensory input to help students remained focused. Touch Puck Lights are an easy way for older students to signal to teachers they need help or directions repeated, in non verbal way, so peers are unaware. Chair bands and wobble disks are great tools for students to use at desks to provide movement, and sensory input, during a usually stationary activity. Chew necklaces provide an appropriate way to get needed oral sensory input. Visual Timers are helpful for students to see and know how much time is left with a task. Thank you for considering!
