Children, by their very nature, are better at some subjects than others. For example, some children are very creative and have a natural talent for art, while other students are more inclined to do well in subjects like math and science. Including emotional support in our classroom provides the opportunity for students who are more sensory inclined to develop a further understanding of basic subjects. For example, I can connect emotional and functional support activities to a lesson, such as questioning, by using All My Stripes, Inky the Octopus, and Do Unto Otters to teach students all about Life and Social Skills.
Through emotional regulation and sensory, children can develop academic skills, communication skills, social learning skills and build an understanding of others.
We must allow our students the opportunity to add these things into their days to help develop these skills.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
