I am a first-year teacher who would like to make a calming corner in my special education classroom where students can go to calm down and regulate their emotions. Students with disabilities benefit from items that provide sensory regulation. As a first-year teacher, I am starting out with not many supplies to help students with their social and emotional needs. I am looking for tools to help my students! I plan to make a sensory corner in my special education classroom for my students to go to when upset. A calming corner would allow a safe place for students to go to when they need a break.
Items like the sensory tent would allow students a safe dark space to regulate.
Sensory lights would be used to provide students with visual stimulation and help distract students from what is upsetting them. The weighted vest and a weighted animal would provide comfort for a student when upset. The spinning chair will be a great tool for students to use when dysregulated. As well as could also be used as a motivating factor for students to complete work.
