Executive Summary
This purchase is for a Sensory Room at Beaty Warren Middle School (BWMS). This resource will support students with Autism and other disabilities that benefit from sensory supports. “Sensory-friendly” often refers to an environment in which kids are given the sensory input they need to self-regulate and decompress; alternatively, it’s an environment that lacks overstimulating sensory input. Sensory rooms are focused on providing the best sensory input for specific needs. By using a variety of therapeutic equipment, kids learn to self-regulate their behaviors and ultimately improve their focus. These are typically categorized as “active” or “calming” rooms; sometimes the Fun and Function team creates a hybrid space to serve a wider variety of sensory needs. Often children will start off in an active space and finish in a calming section to bring the sensory experience full circle. The most important piece of using a sensory room is that it be incorporated into the child’s everyday routine. Spending time in the room should not be held as reward or punishment, rather as part of the overall “sensory diet.”
