Project Description

Tools to provide movement and sensory input will be available to support our students. This is a way to support self-regulation and sensory integration to make them available to receive instruction and make academic progress. Tools will be incorporated into daily routines, quiet corners and transitional supports. Teachers will collect data on the tool usage, student engagement and behavioral incidents.  

 

Expected Outcomes

To reduce sensory related disruptions by 25% as measured by teacher observations and data collection. To increase on-task behavior and instructional engagement among students using sensory tools, allowing our students with special needs to receive movement as a sensory regulator increases their ability to sit for educational instruction. Our teachers will understand how to use these tools to effectively to help their students identify and integrate sensory input into classroom routines.  

 

Purpose of Funding

By equipping classrooms with sensory tools, the project directly supports educational access and equity. Students will gain the ability to self-regulate, engage more fully with instruction and decrease off task behavior. Sensory tools are small investments with a significant impact: calmer classrooms and greater opportunities for learning success.
