My Project

The students in my self-contained special education classroom use sensory items every day to help them with decompression school. Sensory items help students with disabilities relax, focus, and calm down in their everyday lives. They allow students to relieve stress and reduce feelings of anxiety in many different situations. When students feel frustrated, these sensory items can allow my students the tools they need to calm their feelings. These sensory items will allow my students to stay focused in the classroom and to be successful in all they do. These sensory times are invaluable for my students.
