Welcome to Your Campus Sensory Room:

September 26, 12:00pm - 12:45pm
Mānoa Campus, Kuykendall 106 Events Room

Sensory rooms are now common in schools, hospitals, and community spaces. These rooms use equipment to create a controlled sensory-focused environment. A sensory room creates a safe space to self regulate and manage over-stimulation and stress and can be beneficial to anyone. 55% of 51 ԴDz Peer and Benchmark Schools offer some form of sensory-friendly space on campus. 51 ԴDz will now be launching a sensory room that will be located at Kuykendall Hall 106, as part of a partnership with the Center on Disability Studies and their research to support student success through professional development on inclusive practices. This initiative, funded by the 51 Foundation and the Oak Foundation, brings a 13 item sensory room to campus along with a free online course- “CAMP+U” for faculty, staff and administrators focused on disability awareness, Universal Design for Learning, educational technology to support learner agency, strategies to strengthen classroom belonging as well as sensory integration. This workshop will demonstrate effective use of the sensory equipment and provide faculty with an overview of the benefits of sensory integration as well as to experience the benefits themselves in this hands-on session.
