Flexible seating will be used during large and small group times to help students stay focused and regulated while working on their learning goals. These seating options give children choices so that they can feel in control of their body while also still being engaged with their peers. Some of our students have physical disabilities which makes it difficult for them to sit upright on a circle spot, flexible seating can give them the support they need while keeping them close to their peers. Students who require sensory output will benefit from the sensory rings, wands, and gel shapes. These items can also be used to help students who come from trauma regulate their bodies and calm themselves down by watching the liquid move in the wands or squeezing the gel shapes. These items will dramatically help all students participate throughout the day, whether they need physical support to sit at circle time, sensory output, or items to help regulate their brains during an emotional crisis. Items like these will be used everyday throughout learning settings.
