Celebration week of Neurodiversity- <\/span><\/p>\n

For neurodivergent\u00a0 <\/span>people every day spaces can feel supportive or overwhelming.\u00a0 <\/span>Lighting,noise, clutter, smells,pace of the day, routine- all of these shape how safe,calm and included we feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we are focusing on how small environmental changes can make a big difference. <\/span><\/p>\n

Within our sensory room we offer a calm space with various textures, lighting, music,and cosy spaces. All children have access to this room with an adult. We keep the numbers low to offer a calm space and we ask the children to take off there shoes to allow them to feel some of the textures on their feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

We use resources such as our breathing buddy teddies, our massage rollers and our emotions poppers and mirrors.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have recently purchased a projector to also allows for images to be projected on to the ceiling or walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

This environment supports children to explore with their senses and experience calm regulation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Being small can also come with big emotions and it is important to be able to read these emotions and reassure children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of our other sensory resources \u00a0 <\/span>can also be headphones , chew necklaces or the weighted back packs\/blankets.<\/span><\/p>\n

These resources allow children to feel included, regulated\u00a0 <\/span>and safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please follow Nest Ayrshire on facebook\u00a0 <\/span>to find out more fantastic information.<\/span><\/p>\n
