I am hoping to give each classroom a box of sensory tools like fidget toys, stress balls, and silly putty to support ALL students' needs across grades. We know that if all classrooms have the tools that students need to support their participation, independence, and self-regulation needs, they will succeed in all areas of school. We believe that these sensory boxes will serve many important purposes: providing sensory input/output in a localized, non-distracting way, reducing stigmatization of using tools by allowing all students to have access, and increasing self-awareness of learning styles by having access to a variety of tools. We want these tools to be seen as positive aides to the learning process, not just something that certain students use. We believe that these sensory boxes are another step to becoming a genuinely inclusive school environment.
