  • Imagine a safe space where students with autism can go to calm their bodies and then get back to the business of learning.

    This is an amazing sensory room! I can't imagine what it cost to furnish and to maintain upkeep! This is one lucky school. 😃

    An outdoor sensory space with plants would also be very calming.

    This makes me so happy to see and also jealous I didn’t have this as a child. I take stim breaks for work. 😂 So happy for these students! Thank you for working WITH autistics instead of treating them like they are defective and need correcting. Us autistics need support more than anything. ❤️

    The game "Simon" is really helping my 8 yr old son with his focus. I highly recommend this game for older kids to help with their attention deficit.

    Physical therapist? This seems more like occupational therapy than physical therapy. But there is a ton of overlap between the two. I love sensory gyms! They're the best! They always make me feel super happy! I remember loving OT as a kid.

    In my high school, there is like 17 sensory rooms, that is not a joke. Every one (except for the teachers and staff) has special educational needs, I personally do have SENs (albeit mild) and the school has less than 100 students including me, so yeah.

    That is so cool I wish my school had a room like that but I have misophonia so that would help a lot. 😮 but in my P.E class there is a big gym, and then a little room by that where kids can go in and it is a little sensory room I guess
