My Project

Students with sensory processing issues have trouble handling sensory input. And at school, they often have to cope with sounds, smells, textures, and other sensations that get in the way of learning. With these sensory tools, I can provide a soothing environment for my learners to stay focused and on task.

Students will be delighted to use a weighted lap turtle to give sensory input during work on the rug or use wobble chairs during independent reading time.

My movers and shakers can bounce their legs on bouncy bands during classwork without disrupting neighboring classmates. A discrete textured sticker may be all a child needs to stay calm during a challenging time.
