"Sensory rooms are specially designed spaces, often equipped with trampolines, sensory swings, calm-down corners, soft textures and soft lighting. They help students regulate emotions, reduce stress and sensory overload, and improve focus in a quiet, secure environment."
"The investment, which will fund 18 sensory rooms in D75 schools across Brooklyn, reflects Reynoso's commitment to expanding access to inclusive learning environments and ensuring every student has the resources needed to succeed."
"This investment is about equity. We're making sure that students who need the extra level of support are not left behind, because all of our students deserve the opportunity to achieve."
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso announced a $9.25 million investment to build sensory rooms for students with disabilities. This funding will support 18 sensory rooms in District 75 schools across Brooklyn. Sensory rooms are designed to help students with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and improved focus. The investment reflects a commitment to inclusive education and ensuring that all students have necessary resources. Reynoso emphasized the importance of equity in education, particularly for students with autism, drawing from personal experience with his son.
