My Students

As an education specialist, I work with students with varying levels of needs on gaining access to their education. Our school includes students with autism and other disabilities in the general education classrooms to allow them to have access to the general education curriculum and to their same aged peers.

When in the general education classroom with up to 25 students, the students I work with become over-stimulated from the overload of sensory input.

These students need a calming space to go to in order to regulate and return to their classroom to continue participating in learning. We now have a space but it is in need of sensory equipment to help these students regulate and get back to learning!"

My Project

W.D. Hall Elementary School currently does not have a sensory room where students can go when they are over-stimulated. This has become increasingly more important to create as the school's population has had an increase in students being serviced with autism over the past several years.

When our students are over-stimulated, they are not able to access the general education curriculum, which in turn impedes their learning.

Therefore, having a sensory room with items such as a compression boat lounger, trampoline, stepping stones, pin art, medicine ball, vibrating tube, rainstick, vibrating pillow, projector and music player, vibrating cushion, calming lamp, putty, plush toys, kinetic sand, and water beads, will provide students a safe, calm, environment where they can self-regulate and regain control of their emotions before returning back to their classrooms for learning. I feel confident that a sensory room would help ensure success for my students.
