Many special needs students have different sensory needs that impact learning on a daily basis. School closures and disrupted routines during the covid-19 lockdowns have led to an increase in behavioral and mental health challenges among students. This regressions has led to decrease in self-regulation skills. By using sensory tools I can help create a calming space for students. For example using altered light (fluorescent light can be very harsh to a student with sensory issues), tactile sensory discs, balance board, stepping stones to help regulate their nervous system.
