Jenna Pothier, at Beatrice H. Wood Elementary School, in Plainville writes: 

My students use essential sensory tools in my counseling office to create a calming, supportive environment. My goal is to make this space a safe, welcoming haven where students can regulate, reflect, and receive support—whether they are working through emotional challenges, managing stress, or simply in need of a sensory break. These resources benefit the students I work with directly each day, but also support the overall well-being of the entire school community.
