Many of my early learners need extra input to help them learn in a traditional way. In order for my students to be able to participate and learn during their school day they require extra sensory input. This input comes from movement, touching, seeing, and manipulating. Helping children regulate their bodies is critical to them being successful at focusing, participating and learning. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them opportunities to help regulate their bodies through sensory input. The light table with manipulative helps students look at visual input while giving a relaxing and calming feeling. This helps with attention. The manipulatives and sensory tools combined with the light table not only give the children to engage with sensory input but also fine motor activities. Slime, putty, and other textured materials can also be very relaxing to the children that I work with. These sensory activities are often used before introducing academics to children so that their bodies are ready and receptive to academic concepts. I have also selected a handful of games that will reinforce academic concepts they are learning. Many of the games also focus on improving fine motor, problem-solving, and visual perceptual skills. I have seen how sensory integration can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
