The Sensory Regulation through Creative Arts project has been developed to help build awareness and understanding of the human senses, sensory regulation and the benefits of sensory tools for all people. This series of lesson plans and resources is designed to start positive conversations with students and build awareness of sensory needs and supports. The lessons explore ways to create inclusive and supportive classroom environments for students who may have diverse sensory needs.
This hands-on and highly interactive unit provides opportunities for students and teachers to learn about the human senses and then make a variety of different sensory tools. Through this process, students will be able to describe and respond to what sensory tools are, what they are used for, and how different sensory tools can support the self-management of emotions, thoughts and feelings.
