We know what a challenge it can be to keep children happy, active and engaged in learning! We have compiled several simple, creative ideas for sensory solutions for everyday activities. Our innovative concepts can help you with fresh ideas to transform a corner into a unique Sensory Space that fits your budget.
Study Space
For homework, class work or anytime focus, attention and concentration are a must, check out our Study Space essentials. Oral motor tools like the Tactile Tiger Bracelet or the ChewEase can help support state regulation and focus while heavy work lap helpers like the Tote Around Turtle can provide just the right amount of deep touch pressure for calming and organizing. Be sure to alternate chair sitting with more dynamic options such as a Zenergy or NeoRok stool. Add a Colored Overlay or Reading Ruler to help with visual tracking skills for reading and you have the makings of a super space for studying!
Writing Space
Good handwriting depends on many components including sense of touch, pressure, visual skills and finger coordination and strength. Many children struggle with proper pencil grip and/or spacing of letters and words along the page and quickly get discouraged during writing tasks. We offer a variety of fine and visual motor tools including our popular Hi-Write Paper series as well as Slantboards and Weighted Pencils. These and our other handwriting helpers may be just the right tools you need to help your students succeed.
Creativity Space
We know the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Education & Math) + A for Art = STEAM! Every great artist begins with the basics and we’ve compiled our favorites into a list of adapted essentials. A markerboard activity table makes a great piece to anchor a creativity corner space. Other options, from workbooks for tracing, cutting and pasting activities, to raised lined paper and scissor guides, and the ever popular Egg Ohs! Handwriting Grip ensure that there is something that each of your special budding artists can use to create a fine motor masterpiece!
