Sensory Equipment!

This week is Sensory week! (at least from a teacher’s perspective.. I’m NO expert!) Today I am talking about Sensory equipment! I LOVE using sensory integration strategies to help my students make the best of their day.  Many of my students show signs of sensory processing disorder, and it is important for us teachers to make the accommodations necessary to create the best environment for our kiddo’s!

Here are some of our favorite sensory toys in our classroom 🙂

1. Dizzy Disc

spin away…..yes we have 2 in Room 83!

2. Adapted Bike

3.  The classic Computer Chair

4. Trampoline

5. Vibrating Snake

6. Weighted Vest

7. Weighted Blanket

8. Flower Light

9. Back Massager

10. Bouncy Ball

11. Swing

12. Fan

13.  Stretchy Suit

(a class favorite!)

I store most of my sensory equipment in the “sensory corner” so that it is easily assessable for the students and staff!  I incorporate these tools during the day on an “as needed basis” as well as during our scheduled individual or whole class sensory breaks!
