My Project

My active, young students need sensory input to regulate their bodies and emotions. My students climb furniture, put their hands on their peers, and run around the room. When they seek out this input, they are not ready to learn. I want to provide them with the materials they need to appropriately get their needs met in the classroom.

My students have sensory needs that once met, allow them to be present and active learners.

We will use these sensory supports during learning periods to help our students focus and calm their bodies. The vibrating and squishy items help calm bodies. The fidgets give busy hands something to do, allowing the mind to focus. The weighted items help my students with relax their bodies.
