Every classroom is full of students with different regulation needs, so it is imperative to have a safe space for students to regulate and go back to learning. The calming corner developed for Mrs. Turnipseed includes texture-rich fidgets, manipulatives, weighted blankets, stress strips, aroma therapy as well as a white noise machine.<br><br>This particular calming corner is extra special as it was created for James Steenbergen Middle School, which was named after James Steenbergen, the former Board President at Child Advocates of Fort Bend. Mr. Steenbergen had such a heart for service and dedicated so much of his life to building a better community through his support of CAFB as well as through his leadership in education. We loved the opportunity to pour into the education community that he held so close to his heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CASA hopes to continue working with educators in our community to bring more awareness to becoming a trauma-informed classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article written by Snehal Johnson, Trauma &amp; Wellbeing Advocacy Specialist at Child Advocates of Fort Bend Recently the CASA program at Child Advocates of Fort Bend was given the opportunity [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":41529,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_gspb_post_css":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"topics":[],"class_list":["post-41528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-casa-voice"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":89,"label":"The CASA Voice"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/texascasa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Calming-Corner-Photo-1-768x1024.jpg",768,1024,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Kelly Clarke","author_link":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/author\/kclarke\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":89,"name":"The CASA Voice","slug":"casa-voice","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":89,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":120,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":89,"category_count":120,"category_description":"","cat_name":"The CASA Voice","category_nicename":"casa-voice","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41528"},{"taxonomy":"topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics?post=41528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
