All of the students at our school, both special and general education, will be able to benefit from the supplies needed to aid in the creation of our sensory room. The school has designated a space for students to practice regulating their emotions in a room on the first floor of the building. This calm down space will be used to teach students to identify and choose sensory inputs/coping strategies to help their brain and body to relax. By donating to my project, you are supporting a space to allow students to regroup, settle their minds and settle their bodies which will allow them to improve their focus, improve their behavior and support their success in the classroom. All students will be provided with psycho-education to help them learn how to use the items appropriately and why they help them to calm down. The Heavy Weighted Blanket provides a physical calming effect to students who become emotionally dysregulated. The Body Sox provides deep pressure sensory input for students and increases their body awareness. The sensory ball and sensory set will provide tactile input for students via use as stress balls and fidgets to help calm down.
