This project will create new “calm down spaces,” enhance an existing one, and integrate Nex Playground in middle school special ed classrooms to support emotional regulation and play-based learning, fostering social and emotional development.
The calm down space offers a quiet, soothing environment for self-regulation, while the Nex Playground encourages creativity, a physical outlet and social interaction, helping students engage in play-based learning.
The calm down space will include posters to guide self-regulation.
