Setting: classrooms, work, or at home while needing to focus.
Materials:
Headphones themselves
Instructions:
1. Put headphones on when in excess noise.
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is for the individual to understand their own emotions and needs. Some people are very easily overstimulated by vestibular input to the point it interferes with their work, critical thinking, and problem solving abilities. So when they are feeling overwhelmed that they can't work they can put on the headphones and block out the excess noise that is overstimulating them. It is a way for them to deal with their environment yet effectively work through it.
