Project Goal

The goal of this project will be to create a safe, multi-sensory space for students to decompress and have an outlet. With the sensory room, the goal is to help reduces the duration of emotional and physical outbursts by 75%. We have roughly 90 students attending our school with sensory and social/emotional needs. These students often will have outbursts and will then struggle to cope with these feelings. Outbursts like this can often take 15 - 30 minutes or upward of 45 minutes. With the sensory room, we hope to reduce this to 5-10 minutes to prevent loss of instruction and disruption of learning.

How Project Benefits Students

At our school we have a lot of high needs students in the areas of sensory, social emotional and behavioral. The students will have unlimited access to this room to use to meet their sensory needs, decompress their emotions, or just take a break from the fast-paced classroom. When in the room, students will have time to calm down before having a restorative conversation to set the student up for success returning to their classroom. This sensory room would be set up and ready for use within 2 days of receiving the materials and will be available for daily use for the students. This project will allow the students to have a place to regulate their emotions in order to appropriately respond to tough situations within the classroom setting in order to promote a positive learning environment.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

To create a space where students with sensory needs can go in order to decompress, relax and regain focus to rejoin their class.

With the sensory room, the goal is to help reduces the duration of emotional and physical outbursts by 75%.

To track the effectiveness of the room, there will be data collected with how student outburst currently last and how much instructional time is being lost compared to how long it would decrease by after the implementation of the sensory room.
