It has already been used by so many students, as a place where students can go when they need to work off some energy or need to calm down. Our self-contained class brings students on a rotation to get them out of class and let them refocus. It has already made such an impact on those students who needed it so much! General education students have also utilized the area just to relieve some tension or work off some extra energy. Our counselor uses it with struggling students and has loved it. Teachers have seen it and want to contribute ideas and items to it, but it is already a complete sensory area thanks to you!\r\nOur school building has been around for such a long time and this area was the only place that wasn't filled with students and class! We curtained off an area between two hallways and it has fit seamlessly into our school. \r\nThe students are so excited about it and are so very grateful. The teachers are grateful too! For the self-contained teacher, it has been so helpful. Her class is so full and the abilities and personalities are all so extreme and different that this new area helps make it possible to move everyone forward during the day to learn academic and life skills.\r\nI have added to the area by putting up window clings to look like stained glass which gives more privacy. It will be a resource for years to come that help so many.

They started playing instantly during our yearly picnic. There were enough toys to give students one to take home.
