Learning Support classrooms are valuable real estate!
Benefits of a well-designed classroom space:
learn to respect physical boundaries
learn to anticipate specific types of activities that will happen in identified spaces
identify behaviours that are acceptable and expected in specific locations
develop and follow routines that can be transferred to other environments
gain organizational skills from consistent location of personal and/or programming materials
supports regulation and encourages practice of coping strategies
