My Project

Children with special needs have a number of various stresses and require help to manage their emotions. The use of flexible seating provides them with options to help them navigate sensory issues and anxiety levels. Also, a calming area provides a space for them to practice self-regulation of their emotions. Please help me help them learn strategies for self-control. Self-regulation is an important life skill. Many of my students have suffered traumas that have led to their need for special education services and don't have the necessary skill set to navigate emotions. They need our help.

Ms. Pape
Grades 3-5
