Sensory tools and strategies are essential in a Grade 1 and 2 Life Skills classroom to support students' emotional regulation, focus, and overall well-being. Many students with autism experience sensory sensitivities or overload, which can lead to meltdowns or disengagement. Providing sensory tools—like flexible seating, controlled lighting, or calming corners— will help them manage overwhelming stimuli, fostering a conducive learning environment. The play couch, swivel chair, floor mats, Amazon Fire tablet, and other items will help create a safe and supportive space, allowing students to participate more actively in learning and development, improving their ability to focus and engage.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
