My Project

Preschoolers have an endless amount of energy. They love to be in constant movement. Autistic preschoolers have a need for repetitive movement to soothe their restlessness. The sensory room is specifically designed to meet students' individual emotional needs. The requested resources are beneficial to help preschoolers decompress and relax. The rocker, lights, and fidget toys provide a calming effect, improving students' focus and helping to channel excess energy.

Autistic preschoolers need a safe, controlled space to be themselves.

This therapeutic space has both active and calming experiences providing a full range of interactive activities.

The sensory room will allow students to spin it, rock it, and pop-it without the fear of being told to stop it, sit down, and be still.
