I have some students who are on the Autism Spectrum. Many of them require assistance and special activities to get their bodies ready to learn.
The students require different movement breaks, sensory regulation, and different materials to help regulate themselves to focus.
Many of the items, such as the trampoline, would be very helpful in giving the students a jumping break prior to sitting down and needing to focus on a lesson. With the movement and different sensory items, such as the lycra tunnel, the students will begin to learn to regulate themselves when needed.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
