Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our SPED students would benefit greatly from implementing grounding techniques while supplemented with physically relaxing back massagers to help them learn to regulate emotions. Techniques would be presented during IEP mandated therapy sessions and implemented in classrooms when self-identifying the need to deescalate emotions by requesting teacher-set times to use the massage chairs. Message time and grounding techniques and be used as a classroom reward, to curve anticipated emotional dis-regulation, and implemented into curriculum as a group or individual projects. Students will be taught to identify and measure emotional levels.
