Having calming items like beanbag chairs and weighted lap pads makes the room a place students can go to relax and regulate their emotions. The sensory sandboxes are a big hit, especially with the youngest students. The gel-filled mats are fun too! Students like to sit on the wobble cushions and rest their feet on the chair bands. The times are a great way to keep track of the time for small groups and when to go back to class.
