Goal
We have found a space in our Castle to create a sensory room for our students with sensory needs. Now, we need to fill it with sensory equipment that can support self-regulation and help students learn safely and happily!
What will be done with my students
Students will be provided with specific sensory equipment to support their sensory needs in a designated central location on our school campus. Students will have access to the space and equipment, and the adult escorting them there will be able to use purposeful sensory plans and routines to help them regulate and return to learning.
Benefits to my students
Not all sensory needs can be met within the classroom. Some equipment is too big to be stored, too specialized to be needed in every room, or too expensive to provide multiples. In addition, students sometimes need to step away from their classroom with an adult to calm themselves and maintain everyone's safety. Having a space with specialty equipment will help them to safely meet a variety of sensory needs that can be identified by their ESE team.
Describe the Students
This equipment is primarily there to support our 6 self-contained ASD units and the students within them - however, it is available to any student who has sensory needs and needs a place to regulate safely.
