My Project

Our students with autism continue to show resilience. Being resilient gives them the ability to tackle any issues head-on, bounce back from any predisposed setbacks and have the best chance at succeeding. It allows them to learn and grow in all situations – two skills that are crucial to well-being and development.

Oil diffusers are beneficial to students with autism because they can help reduce anxiety and help create a calming environment.

Essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and ylang-ylang have been known to help reduce stress and anxiety levels. The diffuser can also help create a consistent, pleasant scent in the classroom, which can help promote a sense of calm and relaxation. The diffuser also provides an aromatherapy effect, which can help with focus and concentration, which is important for students with autism. Lastly, some essential oils like peppermint and lemon can help boost energy and alertness, which can be beneficial for students with autism who may have difficulty with attention and focus.
