The SAM Box
The Self-regulation and Mindfulness program (SAM for short) is for all children. Dr. Varleisha Gibbs PhD, OTD, OTR/L developed the program for those working or caring for children having challenges with self-regulation, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. The box starts with the SAM dial allowing the child to share their arousal level and emotions in the moment. Inside, there is a weighted object, brain breaks, the SAM man to map their emotions, a respiratory activity, a visual timer, fidgets, and tactile items. It is portable and can easily be placed in a desk or cubby. New and improved weighted bag. Small 8x8 bag to allow easy portability with token rewards and fidget attached!
