What is a Calm Down Corner?
A Calm Down Corner is a corner in the classroom or home that has calming items in it such as:
Pillows
Blankets
Stuffed Animals
Fidgets
A Calm Down Corner is where students can calm themselves down after a meltdown, or when they become dysregulated. Typically a Calm Down Corner is used for about ~3 minutes or until a student can rejoin the activity.
Calm Down Corners are never used for punishment or consequences.
