| Summary: |
I am applying for a grant to pilot a Meditation Program for a small population of Special Education Students(15), whose primary disability is emotional and behavioral in nature. I plan to attend a two-day training on Meditation and Visualization in order to learn the practice and then introduce it to our students. We plan to begin each school day with a guided, 10-minute meditation practice that will enable students to make an easier transition into the classroom, help maintain focus, and reduce anxiety and reactivity. A quiet space within the Learning Center will be provided for these students to use for meditation, and will also serve as a safe place for them to visit as needed throughout the day. |
