We all know the student, the one whose stress response goes from zero to 100 at seemingly small triggers; whose defiant moments test the teacher’s hourly resolve; and whose initial resistance towards a classroom task can lead to the tanking of an entire school day. By incorporating somatosensory activities in a relationally mediated way, students will have more opportunities to experience a regulated body. (Perry, 2009). An individual student’s trauma history can dramatically influence classroom group behaviors, given the considerable relational and regulatory deficits that can occur because of trauma’s effects on unmet developmental needs. My students need a classroom space that is setup in a therapeutic manner, provides adequate space, and is multi-sensory.
