Sensory needs are always an ongoing challenge and something to always replenish. We think of the individual needs of students as well as the needs of the whole class. The students love our weighted stuffed animal Steven the Sloth. He helps with one of our students with sitting calmly at the carpet for group time. The emotions friends are a great way for the students showing their emotions and exploring them while moving the gel beads around. The pop bracelets are great for keeping a sensory item on a student for ease of use. Our washable sensory friends and breathing light will be used when we work on our Second Step social emotional activities.
