Sensory Room Case Studies and Future Directions

Image
  Sensory Room Case Studies and Future Directions Several case studies, notably the research conducted by Boston University, have provided compelling evidence supporting the effectiveness of sensory rooms. For instance, these studies have underscored significant improvements in student behaviour, such as a decrease in disruptive outbursts and an increase in on-task behavior, following exposure to sensory environments (ABTABA, 2024). Similarly, students have shown enhanced emotional regulation, with fewer instances of emotional meltdowns and better self-soothing techniques. The findings from these case studies strongly suggest that sensory rooms can serve as a potent intervention for students with diverse sensory and emotional needs (Edutopia, 2022). Things to remember! However, it is crucial to acknowledge the limitations in the current research concerning sensory rooms. Some studies have highlighted the need for more rigorous, longitudinal research to understand sensory rooms' lon...

Multi-Level Tiered Support Systems and Behaviour - MTSS and Formula One Comparison

  Multi-Level Tiered Support Systems and Behaviour - MTSS and Formula One Comparison Multi-tiered support systems (MTSS) have been increasingly adopted in educational settings to address various student needs, focusing on behavior and academic performance. MTSS is a comprehensive framework incorporating multiple interventions to support all students, including those requiring more intensive assistance. Foundational Principles of MTSS MTSS is built upon several guiding principles that aim to enhance educational outcomes through prevention, behavioral support, and systems support. Sugai, Simonsen, and Freeman (2016) emphasize the importance of capacity development within MTSS, advocating for a proactive approach that focuses on preventing behavioral issues before they escalate. This preventative strategy is complemented by robust behavioral supports and systems that ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the MTSS framework.
