Installing vinyl sensory pathways can be a fun and engaging way to add a sensory experience to your classroom or hallways space. Here are some general steps you can follow:

1. Choose your desired sensory pathway. Consider the age range and abilities of the users, as well as the space available.
2. Gather materials: You may need masking tape, a measuring tape, a squeegee. Most of our kits include squeegees.
3. Prepare the surface: The surface should be clean, dry, and free of any debris. If necessary, sweep or power wash the area before starting.
4. Apply Decals: Starting at one end of the pathway, apply adhesive to the surface, using the squeegee press the decals firmly to the surface.
5. Place vinyl tiles: Place the vinyl tiles or strips onto the adhesive, making sure they are level and aligned properly.
6. Allow adhesive to dry: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying time.
7. Test the pathway: Once the adhesive is dry, test the pathway to make sure it is secure and safe for users.

A Higher Class Co. Sensory pathways in school hallways are designed to provide students with a quick break from their aca demic activities to engage in physical activity, sensory stimulation, and self-regulation. The pathways typically consist of a series of colorful and interactive stations, such as hopscotch squares, balance beams, and sensory walls, that students can engage with as they walk through the hallway.

There are several reasons why sensory pathways can be beneficial for students. First, they provide a healthy outlet for physical energy, which can help students focus better in the classroom. By engaging in physical activity during the school day, students can release pent-up energy and reduce restlessness, which can enhance their ability to concentrate and learn.

Second, sensory pathways provide a sensory-rich environment that can stimulate the senses and promote self-regulation. Students can engage with tactile surfaces, visual displays, and auditory cues that can help them regulate their emotions and stay calm and focused. By providing a structured sensory experience, the pathways can also help students develop sensory processing skills, such as visual tracking, spatial awareness, and fine motor skills.

Finally, sensory pathways can be a fun and engaging way for students to break up their day and reduce stress. By providing an opportunity for students to engage in physical activity and explore new sensory experiences, the pathways can help students feel more motivated, engaged, and enthusiastic about their learning.
