Many of my students have autism. With this, many of the individuals are unable to self-regulate. They become over-stimulated or under-stimulated and need assistance to regulate. When this happens, students display behaviors that include: aggression, self-harm, and yelling. These not only disrupt the individual's learning, but the learning of their peers. Items like the 'Cozy Canoe,' the trampoline, and the bean bag chair will help calm students and decrease agitation. In addition to decreasing behaviors, the sensory experiences will appeal to all senses, ensuring all learning styles are addressed. The class has a sensory part of the day where the students are able to explore these different senses. The sensory table can be filled with many different textures such as water beads, sand, and rice. The touch, sight, sound, and kinesthetic components are a big motivation to students. The moon sand helps the students to develop their fine motor skills through an enjoyable experience. With your help, the classroom can become an engaging and accommodating environment necessary for functional and academic development.
