Presenting the Balance Disc! Core stability balanc

Presenting the Balance Disc! Core stability balance aid adjusts easily for various abilities. Use while standing, kneeling, or sitting. Improves balance and joint stabilization, strengthens and tones core muscles, and encourages proper posture. It creates a moving surface for the child to sit on. The idea is that this movement will help to keep the child more alert and it increases the length of time students are able to tolerate sitting. Latex & toxic free.⁣
⁣
The Balance Disc is one of the four items in the At-Home Active Kit we are donating to 70 families in the Greater Montreal Area. More information to come on how to apply!⁣ 🌟💛👏👍

Presenting the Chew Stixx! A tasty alternative to chew on!⁣ Chew Stixx provide oral motor stimulation, as well as allow students to chew on something safe. Multiple textures and flavors are great for children with oral sensory issues.⁣
⁣
Oral sensory input is a universal regulator. If you are reading this, you probably can relate to the enjoyment of chewing a piece of gum or a crunchy snack. Students with learning difficulties or students with autism may seek oral sensory input for the same reasons but some may be due to anxiety or dysregulation or to stay on task. ⁣
⁣
Chew Stixx are one of the six items in our At-Home Calming kit. We will be donating to 70 families in the Greater Montreal area!⁣
⁣
Stay tuned to learn how to apply!⁣ 🌟💛🥰

@galileoadultcentre is the 3rd school in Montreal that @nobetteryou helped to build a sensory room. This is where @vanessagrimaldi30 taught before going on @bachelorabc It was a very special opening ceremony and the driving force behind the why she decided to establish No Better You in the first place.⁣
⁣
Please listen to what this Galileo student has to say about the sensory room in her school. “Makes me feel like I’m in a different area like I’m out there in the country or I’m out somewhere where it’s warm. And it relaxes my body’s and it just keeps me quiet and I can meditate”. 🤩🌟💛⁣

We encourage everyone to check out @thetututeacher page for all the AMAZING suggestions and resources on literature. Here are some of the books Vera suggests to help your students and children practice being anti-racist. ⁣

We also linked a classroom library questionnaire suggested by Vera. This will help you analyze your classroom books to determine if there is diversity. Please be mindful to have diversity in your classroom and home library. Also important for your students/children with special needs. Please include books that represent them!⁣
