At our school, our students learn to have H.E.A.R.T. (To be Hard working, Empathetic, Active learners, Respectful and Trustworthy). It is amazing to watch the children learn these qualities over the years, but with learning comes challenges. As our children learn to navigate through their emotions, the struggles they encounter are real.
As a Behavior Specialist working with students with varying disabilities, here at our school, we try to provide a safe space that gives a sense of calm and comfort where children can learn to regulate their emotions.
Sensory spaces can have positive effects on ALL students. They provide a calming environment where children can be supported during times of struggle. They are designed to reduce stress and anxiety and help users to better self-regulate and control impulses in a safe space. With the help of a sensory room, learning and participation in school can be optimized.
School can be stressful for our students, I would like to provide emotional support through the use of a sensory space so they can be successful without emotional barriers.
