My Project

In the special education resource room, students can immensely benefit from sensory seat items and chair bands designed to accommodate their diverse sensory needs. These tools provide tactile stimulation and help students regulate their sensory experiences and maintain focus during lessons. The sensory seat items offer a comfortable and supportive environment for students, while chair bands allow for subtle movement, promoting better concentration and engagement in learning activities. By incorporating these accommodations into the classroom environment, it will help me create a more inclusive and conducive space for students with sensory processing challenges.

Offering large sensory output opportunities such as sand and water sensory bins enhances students' exploration and sensory integration skills.

These activities encourage hands-on learning experiences, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and sensory exploration. Engaging with materials like sand and water promotes sensory exploration, fine motor development, and cognitive growth. Moreover, these sensory bins provide a therapeutic outlet for students to regulate their emotions and relieve stress, ultimately promoting a positive and supportive learning environment in the special education resource room.

Thank you so much for taking a look at my project and considering helping my students have an environment they feel safe to explore and engage in learning opportunities in.
