Last week while observing a classroom, I was trying to pinpoint what was feeling so right about what I was experiencing: I realized that everywhere I looked or listened, there were supports available for sensory regulation for all students AND staff (picture: rocking chairs, noisebusting headphones, water bottles, a soft corner, table and natural lighting, a 'singing bowl' to signify transitions, and more).
So this is just a quick shout out note of appreciation for what I saw; it would have been one thing to see these supports available, but that the staff modeled (and really utilized) the benefits of using the supports and the students were able to access them at any time was evident in the flow of the class.
