Teaching Learners with Multiple Special Needs: Sensory Rooms On the Cheap

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Some time ago, (last March) I wrote a blog post about doing Sensory Rooms on a budget. Now that Donors Choose is in the picture I would strongly recommend you use Donors Choose grants to get the materials you need for a sensory room is you work in a school. However, here are the links from last years post, they have been checked for 404 and other errors and there are some new additions.

Here are links to some products that are under $100:

Best Bet Companies

Extreme Glow USA (They take school purchase orders!!!)
Cool Stuff Cheap USA
Novelty Lights USA
Therapy Best Buys USA
The Glow Company UK
Discovery Channel Store USA

Here are some ideas of how to set up and things to do in a sensory room:

Really useful thank you! We have also purchased items from Electric Planet - based in the UK but also deliver to the US - as they will put together taylored, low cost packs which include decent discounts - helpful when on a tight budget.
