Bouncing, Spinning, and Vibration

Help me give my students flexible seating options. Donut inflatable seats and vibration cushions help us focus. Spinning can also help us calm our body.

My Project

Sensory overload can be very overwhelming in our classroom which prevents our students from learning and exploring. When our students are regulated, we are able to focus on social/emotional development as well as learn through play. Bouncing, spinning and feeling vibrations can help us regulate!

Our students learn through play and if they aren’t regulated, then play isn’t possible.

I love how the movements get them all so excited and learn to calm and self soothe. When one of my students sees another student on one of our sensory seats, they immediately go over and interact!
