Sensory awareness that works: Group Activity #16a - Campus sensory mapping

This is an additional sensory activity - creating maps of the campus with helpful sensory spaces. It can be used in addition to activities from Group Activity #13 and #14 or a replacement for Group Activity #14a, depending on the group needs and dynamics. I approach this like the procrastination and social skill building. Depending on the time you have with them and what the students need, you can decide how you might use this activity.

Introduction

"We have explored your sensory needs and preferences and considered how to get your sensory needs met during your days and in different situations. In this group we are going to consider the environments we find ourselves and think about the sensory features of these environments. We are going to look at the campus through that sensory lens so that we can figure out ways to use the campus to meet your sensory needs."
