Sensory Room Items For Students With Disabilities

Help me give my students with anxiety a tent and sensory toys to help manage their feelings. Many may fidget or make small movements when they are feeling anxious, restless, impatient, or nervous.

My Project

This project is very near and dear to my heart, aside from helping students focus, the stimulating environment of a sensory room may heighten awareness, provide a sense of security and comfort, improve creativity, promote mental and physical relaxation, and even decrease aggressive behaviors.

A sensory room will not help students with special needs, it will be available for all students in a time of crisis.

Time in a sensory tent helps children improve their visual, auditory, and tactile processing, as well as fine and gross motor skills. Items like Art3d Liquid Sensory Floor Decorative Tiles, break through the inherent form of floor tiles, and fluid flows between high-density layers, creating an unprecedented spatial interaction.

By providing a sense of calm and comfort, sensory rooms help children learn to self-regulate their behaviors, which ultimately improves focus.

Thank you for your help in making our sensory room a reality.
