Now, instead of frustration or distraction, we see students using these supports to self-regulate and return to learning more quickly and confidently.\r\n\r\nOur social-emotional curriculum has built on this foundation by teaching students how to identify and express their feelings, show empathy, and work cooperatively with their peers.

Whether it's running their hands through soft materials, squeezing stress balls, or engaging with tactile objects, they are learning how to self-regulate in healthy and constructive ways.\r\n\r\nI've already seen students gravitate toward the bin during times of frustration or sensory overload—and walk away calmer, more focused, and better able to participate in learning.
