My Project

At our school site, Laurel Ruff Transition Center, we currently have a breath and movement class that provides students living with special needs the opportunity to decrease stress and improve mental health through body movement and breath exercises.

The addition of singing and crystal bowls will give students the opportunity to decrease anxiety, involuntary mental activity, and stress through sound therapy.

Many of my students enjoy the soothing sounds of calming music in the background during class. By giving students the opportunity to create and listen to sounds made by their peers and themselves they will be empowered to calm their own moods and feelings through sound.

Over the last few years of introducing the movement and breath class, many students have benefited by centering themselves and being able to self sooth through their own actions. Adding sound therapy to movement and breath will give students another healthy outlet to take charge of the social and emotional well being.
