Students accessing the SLC do so in earned breaks, sensory breaks, student requested breaks, teacher breaks, and other individually required breaks. Earned breaks are positive rewards achieved for demonstrating appropriated targeted classroom behaviors. Sensory breaks are a specifically scheduled group of activities to assist the student's participation in their daily activities. These activities are specific to the student’s individual needs and can include specific types of inputs such as tactile( use of the weighted blanket), visual, auditory, or vestibular (movement using the sand bag for weighted brain breaks, the donut ball and wobble seats). And all breaks are timed, these timers would students manage their time and allow from smoother transition in and out of the SLC. As you feel the deep hug and comfort, imagine the soothing effect on a sensory seeker who craves input, or the over responder who is anxious. The proprioceptive input stimulates the body's pressure points for mood and sleep, and has therapeutic benefits for anxiety, autism and sensory processing disorder. But studies show that children who are more active exhibit better focus, faster cognitive processing, and more successful memory retention than kids who spend the day sitting still. Keeping the body active promotes mental clarity by increasing blood flow to the brain, making activity vital to both learning and physical and neurological health.
