The sensory room houses the sensory stations, and the waiting area. Sensory Integration therapy is extremely important to students with Autism. This area is designed to work with students’ proprioceptive system (contracting and stretching muscles), visual system (their body’s relationship to space), vestibular system (position of head in relationship to gravity-primes the entire nervous system), and auditory system (has two functions-closely tied to vestibular system in that it deals with gravity/vibration and processing information that is heard). Each student has an individualized sensory diet that drives whether a student would benefit from therapy once a day or several times a day.
This schedule guides the students through the first hour of school. They have a sensory break session (seven stations), and then morning meeting at the Smartboard. This is a typical Do/Done schedule. When the student has finished the activity, they would move the picture to the “Done” side and move on to the next activity.
