Lesson Plan
Sensory Strategy Map
Students will identify at least three sensory strategies for self-regulation and collaboratively create a visual Sensory Strategy Map to reference during times of stress.
Teaching a variety of sensory tools helps students learn how to self-regulate emotions and gives them a communal resource to use when feeling overwhelmed.
