Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi all, I have a small raw milk farm in Atoka, TN located just north of Memphis. I milk Jersey cows and grow them as natural as possible, no chemicals added. My email is jenniesdanes3@.... Raw milk is not allowed for human consumption in TN but it is allowed to be sold as pet food.

My kids are young, but in my first grader's typical classroom the teacher did not turn on the overhead lights, instead she had lamps around the room to provide soft light. She also had a big soft chair in her reading corner which doubled as a " quiet spot " for when my daughter needed a break. There were rugs to help with the noise level in the classroom accoustics and cut up tennis balls on the feet of the chairs to stop that loud noise from pulling chairs in and out. Her room seemed pretty calm, she also played music at certain times. My twins with autism love music as many children do. I realize that these are older students but a lot of this was because the teacher herself was on sensory overload. When going to my daughter's new school, as we toured we peeked in a 5th grade class that also had the lamps instead of overhead so I know some teachers do this. Don't know if this is possible, but an aquarium might be relaxing as well as something to talk about with the students. My non verbal twins love looking at the aquarium in the lobby of their old daycare, especially with the bubbler. I think it is relaxing for any age. ;@) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hi, I understand your position. I would work on the environment with lamp lighting around the room; not too dark or bright. I also have alternate seating and work areas that are bean bags and small desk with chairs and just work to make the classroom inviting. Be careful not to make the room too busy with color or wall posters or work. Give the students an opportunity to present/display what is important to them; even if there in nothing on the wall.... perhaps that works best for them. I concentrate on teaching skills that help students with autism negotiate their environment both in the school and community: communication, math skills, emergency and life/leisure skills toward becoming independent, content young adults.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I will definately get some lamps. Thanks for the warning about the busy walls. Just today I was in my classroom thinking of how I could fill up those drab walls!
