Sensory reset: 6 steps, start to finish

A short reset: move somewhere quieter, lower the light, adjust your clothing or the temperature, drink water, and come back when you are ready. In Unmiss, the "Sensory reset" routine has 6 steps. In the library it begins at 9:00 AM with "Move to a quieter space" and ends with "Return when ready" at 9:25 AM.

The steps

1. 9:00 AM Move to a quieter space
2. 9:05 AM Reduce bright light
3. 9:10 AM Adjust clothing or temperature
4. 9:15 AM Drink water
5. 9:20 AM Choose one calming activity
6. 9:25 AM Return when ready

These are the library's suggested times, starting at 9:00 AM, with weekdays as its suggested days. Change any step or time to fit your own.
