More and more schools are investing in sensory rooms because the results are incredible. All of the items in my cart are intended to fulfill special education student's sensory needs. Items like a sensory light, lightening lamp, bubble maker, bubble tube, mirrors, and glitter wands will benefit students who seek visual stimulation. A pin artboard and sensory table will benefit students who seek touch stimulation. A tunnel, ball pit, punching bag, compression boat, swing, and trampoline will benefit students who seek deep pressure and movement.
