I would like to provide a safe and comfortable space for my students to relax and help calm their bodies when they need to. Children with autism are especially sensitive to sensory stimulation, like lighting, sounds, and smells. Providing them with an area where they can go to remove themselves from this stimulation is so important.
Bean bag chairs, soft pillows, and a canopy would be perfect to create that space for my students. With a safe, soft, and dimly lit space, they can self regulate their bodies so that they are ready to face further challenges throughout the day. By providing this space, we are able to meet our students' needs and help them be better learners.
