Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students with special needs often get sensory overload in a classroom full of activity. Because of this, they need a place to go to relax and calm themselves so they can rejoin the classroom. Each student has a different way of calming their bodies and minds so the sensory room has to be full of activities for all their diverse needs. This room would serve students on the Autism Spectrum, students with emotional disturbance, Down's Syndrome, multiple disabilities, and intellectual disabilities.

My Project

Our goal is to continue to put some finishing touches on our calming sensory room for our high school students with disabilities. We want to make this place a place students want to come when school is too overwhelming. Our hope is that many students will benefit from this room for many years to come.

We will allow all students with disabilities to use this room to help them cope with school stressors.

The room will have dim lights, peaceful music and lots of sensory items to help us to return to our class.

School can be a very overwhelming and confusing place. The Calming Room will give us a place to be while we calm ourselves and get ready to return to the classroom. This room solves the problem of not having anywhere to go when we are feeling overwhelmed. The school special ed program would really benefit from having this available for the students.
