Miller Place school installs sensory spaces for students to re-center
Andrew Muller Primary School in the Miller Place School District recently introduced for all students a sensory hallway with resources and interactive stations. The sensory hallway supports mental health and social emotional wellness by providing a safe space for students to refocus their energy.
“Our sensory hallway at Andrew Muller Primary School supports students with sensory sensitivity and students who need movement breaks,” said Superintendent of Schools Seth Lipshie. “Students can use the spaces to release energy, allowing them to better focus on schoolwork, and optimize learning.
The sensory hallway includes various activities and spaces where students can focus on sensory development and needs. Students may also practice mindfulness exercises by engaging in activities related to sight, hearing, smell, touch, balance and movement.
