• Focus on replacing self‑stimulatory behaviors with rewarding, soothing sensory experiences.

• Encourage students to notice when and why they stim, using gentle cognitive prompts like “It’s OK to do something soothing.”

• Use an AMUP Sensory Room where students choose short “sense bites” such as texture, movement, temperature, chewing, fragrance, touch, sound, light, and simple calming tasks (e.g., peeling glue, puzzles)

• Provide Sensory Melt Activities (pet therapy, warm water) to help students regulate before or after school or events.

• Offer Sensory Workouts (yoga, sports, crawl tubes, ball activities) to integrate body and mind and promote a sense of safety and control.

• Include a Sensory Factory with tactile items, rocking chairs, swings, temperature packs, fragrances, warm water, and pet therapy

• Regulate electronic device use and exposure to wireless devices.

• Incorporate Montessori‑inspired exploratory learning in a carefully prepared sensory environment.
