Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which lead to a child's ability to complete more complex learning tasks. My teaching approach is to teach and nurture the child as a whole.
There are multiple benefits of engaging children with autism in sensory play. It is calming, it improves their ability and desire to communicate, it boosts their motor skills, and helps them retain more as they learn. Although it seems like such a simple thing, sensory play for kids with autism truly is essential.
Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.
My classroom is primarily focused on language development and social/behavior skill development. The items in this project will allow my students different opportunities to develop important skills necessary for academic learning through sensory play.
