My Project
Our school has a motor room for students with disabilities to help regulate their bodies and safely get out their energy and/or frustrations out. We recently were able to purchase a climbing and swinging structure. This structure is secured to a brick wall and hangs over a linoleum floor. We are asking for help to make this space safe for our students. We want to use one mat to place underneath and one mat attached to the brick wall to ensure when our students are getting their sensory input from the swing or climbing structure they are safe if they fall off.
Students with disabilities have high sensory needs that they cannot engage in the classroom.
The motor room is filled with balance beams, mini trampolines, and now the climbing and swinging structure to make sure all sensory needs are being met. The motor room has already benefited our students in helping diminish behaviors and giving them tools to learn how to properly meet their sensory and emotional needs. The addition of the mats to keep our students safe with the new climbing and swinging structure will finish our motor room so our students may use it to its full potential.
