Celebrating 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.
Our school has 150 students with special needs that include: developmental delay, autism, social/emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, hearing impairments, and speech-language disabilities. Due to their disability many of our students can experience sensory processing difficulties, which causes them to experience greater difficulties and adds an additional barrier to their learning opportunities.
A sensory processing disorder causes the brain to have trouble taking in information that comes through our senses.
Students will often be seen having difficulty or being overly sensitive to things in their environment.
My Project
Our school is opening their very first sensory room. The goal of this room to provide all students, especially our diverse learners, a place where we can help to settle their sensory cravings so they may engage in the most optimal learning experiences. Body socks and weighted items provide deep pressure to the entire body, which helps to calm and assist the child in becoming more regulated. Gymnastic mats and floor scooters will help provide the proprioceptive input that helps calm a restless body.
Our staff is envisioning this special place as an area where children can go when they become overly stimulated or disregulated.
As you can imagine, learning is almost impossible when we are cannot focus or calm our minds and bodies.
