Fox Mill Opens Sensory Room
April 22, 2024
Counselor Stacy Keating-Labas worked hard to furnish a calming room where students can engage their senses to regulate their emotions. The newly opened SEL Strategies Lab is furnished with bean bag chairs, massage chairs, a sand and water table, calming lighting. Students can also try on weighted vests and play a giant game of Connect 4 to take a brain break. Students can use, in real time, the coping strategies that they've been taught. The sensory room is a calm, safe space where students can take deep breaths while using a variety of items to help them return to the "green zone," their baseline where they're ready to return to learning.
