My
Action research project is going very well, it seems that I am
finally gathering some footing among colleagues. During the Fall, I
wrote and was awarded a grant from a local education foundation. It
allowed me to further my multi-sensory sensory approach by upgrading
my multi-sensory room and providing more support for vestibular
stimulation. By putting picnic tables and swings outside, it will
allow me to move the classroom outside on days that it is nice out.
This will meet a sensory needs for my sensory processing disorder
students. With the grant money, I also installed an indoor swing and
had a vestibular spinning board built. This is a great addition to my
occupational therapy approaches as a part of the students sensory
diets. Currently, I am writing IEP's for the new school year that
will have the sensory diet objectives listed. This will be the first
time that these have been apart of student IEP's
My
principal(site supervisor) has given me many opportunities to serve
in administrative duties. It has been a great to have the opportunity
serve on collaboration teams and put some of the things I am learning
in motion.
