My Project
Children with autism spectrum disorder may have issues effectively processing sensory information and may perceive sensation differently.
The quiet area and sensory toys will help my students with sensory-related issues.
For example, a child may perceive touch sensation as painful or immediately become startled when touched. Some children are extremely sensitive to noises such as the sound of a toilet flushing. A child’s sensory needs and way of processing sensory information from their surrounding environment is completely different for each child.
The purpose of these sensory rooms is to provide a relaxed atmosphere where my students are surrounded by pleasant sensations (quiet space, relaxing aromas, interesting light effects).
Nearly all students from low‑income households
