Suburban Rotary has been working with Dundee Elementary to create and support a sensory room at the school. Sensory rooms in schools are dedicated spaces equipped with specialized tools and equipment designed to help students regulate their senses and manage their emotional and behaviorial needs. These rooms benefit students with conditions like autism, sensory processing disorder and other conditions by providing g a safe, low-demand environment for taking breaks to reduce stress, improve focus, and develop coping strategies. They use a variety of tools like visual/auditory stimuli, and interactive projections to support emotional regulation, motor skills development, and learning.
A grant from the Suburban Foundation provided funding for the project and Rotarians volunteered their time and energy. See photos. and a powerpoint.
