A distraction free and structured/predictable environment is most conducive to learning and behavior for kids who can become easily distracted, overwhelmed by too much input, have visual perceptual difficulties, or kids who have trouble understanding what is expected when given verbal directions. A new rug will help the student who has difficulty understanding the concept of staying in a specific area by giving them a constant safe place to call their own, and will be placed where we do our whole class gathering. Having severe speech and language disabilities makes it difficult for children to appropriately react or respond when they are frightened, scared, frustrated or overstimulated. The calm down chair will be a comfortable place for a child that is having a tantrum or needs to collect their thoughts to go and get control of their feelings. Students in my class often engage in attention seeking behaviors which are continually addressed. The room dividers would be used to strengthen the classroom layout for my students. They would provide a way to separate work stations from play stations and create visual barriers for the students that become distracted easily. With these additions to our class, it will help improve our classroom structure and give visual barriers to those children will minimize both visual and auditory distractions, which allows for optimal learning to occur.
