The Sofa Sac and Bean Bag chair will provide my students with low incidence disabilities a place to escape over stimulation within the school environment. These items will be used within the classroom to promote ways to handle a meltdown. A meltdown is very different from a tantrum. It's a reaction to feeling overwhelmed. For some kids, it happens when they're getting too much sensory input—that's information coming in from their senses. Kids may become upset by certain sounds, sights, tastes, and textures. You might hear this called sensory overload. Kids with sensory processing issues struggle with sensory overload. Some may be oversensitive to sounds, sights, textures, flavors, smells and other sensory input. These items will be used within the classroom to promote ways to handle a meltdown. Both items will give the kids a safe place to go and help them to manage a meltdown by providing them find a safe, quiet place to de-escalate.
