We are going to transform our dull, florescent lite and hard chair classroom into making We have asked for a variety of sensory items that can help students who like less compression or more compression, students who need visual-auditory support, or tactile support. I do not have any of the items in my classroom and it would make such a difference. Below is a description of the items and their intended use in our classroom.
*Compression Pea Pod: This will be in our reading corner. Students can have the compression that feels like a hug while they read.
*Weighted blanket/Calming Ball: The dog-shaped weight blanket will also help students stay at their desks with the comfort that comes from the deep pressure that these products provide to muscles joints. The calming ball is soft and helps students to reduce stress with light pressure.
*Sensory Light Ball: When the lights are dimmed the sensory ball can bring students from getting over-excited. We would use this when students return from PE.
*Exercise Balls: For some Autism means movement. Having an exercise ball to sit on allows a student to satisfy the need for speed while still being able to get their work done.
*Engineer Coaster: Autist children can think and build something on their own which is something we work on in class. It will reinforce the learning and keep learning fast paced.
*Fidget Tubes/Sensory Rings: This will help my students stay calm during lessons and instructions. These are also portable and can be moved from student to student quickly.
We are looking forward to having our classroom be an open inclusive sensory room where the only thing students must focus on is their homework and not a hard chair.
