Sensory Supports for the Classroom

Help me give my students the sensory supports they need to participate in the classroom.

My Project

Students with sensory regulation deficits often benefit from tactile input and deep pressure input throughout the day. When students are not able to regulate their sensory system, they struggle to stay seated, which affects not only their education but can also be very distracting to other students in the classroom. Students who are seeking deep pressure also struggle to focus on the task they should be completing so although they may appear to be seated, they are not taking in the information they need to learn. It is my goal to implement the sensory supports they are seeking in a way that they can continue to sit at their desk and learn. The sensory sacks, vibrating pillows, and kick bands will help provide students with the input they need to stay seated in class. The chew necklaces and pencil toppers will allow students to meet the oral input they are seeking while protecting their teeth from chewing on pencils and other non-food items. The Scotch thermal laminator will help with the creation of a sensory diet for students to make choices and for data to be collected on the sensory supplies used for each student.
