Sensory Counseling Room

Funded Jul 16, 2023

My students and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The students have a place to relax when they are having high emotions. One of my autistic students finds the room very relaxing during fire drills. My other students are using the resources in the room to practice focusing and relaxing strategies prior to using it in the classroom.

When the students entered the room for the first time, they stated "this feels like my house", "my counseling days are now my best days because I love all the things you have in this room and I will never be absent". The students are so engaged when I model using a sensory toy. So far, this has been the best start to the school year with the students in my room.

Some of the students have already began to use the chair bands and sensory stickers in their classroom, which has shown positive results. The next step for this projects is to have more students utilize these materials throughout the day in their classroom.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Lawrence
