Sensory Exploration

Wednesdays, 2:00-3:30pm

Student Services Building, Room 350 

Sensory Exploration is a weekly drop‑in space designed to help students discover tools that support focus, regulation, and overall well‑being. During these open hours, students are welcome to stop by and try out a variety of sensory support items—including weighted blankets, fidget tools, textured objects, noise‑reduction options, and other calming or stimulating resources. This space offers a low‑pressure environment where students can explore what works best for their individual needs. Staff are available to answer questions and guide students through different sensory options. Open to all students and those interested in learning about neurodiversity or sensory supports.

Eye to Eye Mentor Program

We have an exciting volunteer opportunity open for Spring 2026 semester. The Eye to Eye program, in partnership with the University of Utah, pairs college students who learn differently with middle school students who learn differently. Each week they meet at Parkside Elementary in Murray to do an art room. It is a fun and engaging way for students to connect and provide valuable insight to young learners. No specific experience required, this is a great way to get community involvement or resume building skills!

Call to Action: We are looking for U of U students who would like to be a mentor in the art rooms. We are also looking for a couple of students who would like leadership experience to become Chapter Leaders and lead the art rooms.

Expectations: Meet weekly, every Thursday from 3:20 – 4:20 pm

Location: Parkside Elementary in Murray, UT (If transportation is an issue we can help!)

Training will be provided virtually
