Sensory Sparks: Unlocking the Greatest Learning Potential
Help me give my students chair bands, calm strips, thinking putty and other sensory items to feel comfortable and successful in their school environment.
As our world evolves, the world of education evolves simultaneously. As students' needs change, classroom needs are established based on that given classroom and population of students. It has been increasingly recognized that students often have sensory needs, especially students with disabilities, such as ADD, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Envisioning a better world for students with disabilities includes providing the proper sensory resources to enhance their success.
These various resources such as chair bands, sensory putty, vibrating pencils, and calming strips will all provide the sensory opportunities my students must receive during the school day. This can improve calmness, sustained attention throughout the day, fine motor skills, hand strength and dexterity, all valuable and beneficial skills for young students with disabilities.
More than half 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
