The School Bus

Modifications

• Blinds on bus windows to block out sunlight and external visual input.
• Turn off radio on bus.
• If student is tactile sensitive, try to give them a seat alone, to avoid accidental touch from person beside.

Supports

• Provision of distractors to direct visual attention away from traffic and others on the bus.
• Provision of a calm kit, which includes objects to regulate sensory input e.g. aroma dough, fidget objects, ear defenders.
• Head phones for music.
• A weighted lap pad placed across the legs can help to reduce dysregulation caused by the movement on the bus.
