HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - A collaboration between Harrisonburg City Public Schools Special Education staff, the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board, and behavioral specialists has led to the debut of a new classroom at Waterman Elementary School. The room is dedicated to providing sensory-based activities for students, while also providing opportunities for social and emotional engagement. It is complete with a ten-station circuit for students including gross-motor activities like balancing and bouncing, and moves to calming and organizational tasks like a sandbox and ‘crash pad'.
