My students need this Sensory Steamroller to help with sensory needs. Deep pressure is one of their highest forms of positive reinforcement. Our students are highly impacted with autism, many of them who are non-verbal, although our verbal ones have trouble expressing their needs. Many of them have an array of behaviors, which can be contributed to not having functional forms of communication or access to proper sensory and therapeutic activities in the classroom. With the proper materials, our students will be able to self sooth themselves, which will help them focus and be more alert. Please support our wonderful class. The Steamroller is more effective then our old gym mats. My students usually roll themselves as tacos with the mats. Thanks in advance.
