Sensory Spheres: Empowering Special-Needs Students in Physical Education

Funded Feb 14, 2024

When I presented the sensory spheres to my students they were so excited. I used a discovery to learn approach by asking them how they would use the sensory spheres. I handed the sensory spheres and allowed students to sit on it, roll their backs on them and many of them bounced around on them.

Students look forward to coming to the gym and taking access of the sensory sphere balls to roll on them or bounce on them. Some of my students have sensory processing difficulties and they need extra stimulation and the sensory balls are a hit with them.

Thank all of the donors for contributing to this project. I would like to set up stations for those students in the future with other equipment that will provide a variety of sensory motor equipment.”
