Students with autism have a difficult time processing sensory information. This includes: Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Taste and Smell. Any of these senses can be over or under-sensitive to a person with autism. This can affect behavior and classroom performance. Sensory activities can help students with autism calm down, engage in academic tasks and stimulate their senses. I have observed how current sensory activities/items have helped my students remain calm and stay in their seat and complete work in order to earn their favorite sensory items.
The following items will help my students with their sensory input. The pressure vests will help provide soft pressure points to help keep students calm. Windy City Novelties will help to visually stimulate my students. JellyBeadz and stretch balls will help with tactile input. Filter light covers will help dim the florescent lighting in the classroom so students will not be overstimulated by the fluorescent lights. Yoga mats are needed so students can participate in yoga exercises. Research has shown that yoga exercises have greatly reduced pain, anxiety, aggression, obsessive behaviors, and self-stimulatory behaviors. They also help students learn to regulate emotions. The LED Calming Autism Light Projector Toy Relax Blue Night Music will help keep students calm with the soft music.
