My Students

The students I work with as a occupational therapist are active, inquisitive, excited and love to move and engage with people, things and activities in their school environment. All of the students I work with have special needs such as developmental delays, autism, and learning disabilities. Many of my students have difficulties with sensory regulation and modulation which impacts there ability to successfully engage without proper support in there classroom environment.

My Project

I work as an occupational therapist with students with special needs. My students need access to flexible seating and other sensory tools such as fidgets, tactile input, weighted vests, vibration, and appropriate oral tools to chew on.

By providing students with sensory strategies and tools such as flexible seating it helps my students achieve self regulation which enables them to actively participate in classroom activities and learn.

When my student are lacking access to sensory tools and strategies they have increased behaviors and meltdowns through the school day as they seek this input there nervous system craves. This impacts there ability to learn and participate in there classroom environment.
