We’re excited to share that Cowles Library, in collaboration with Access and Success, is introducing a Sensory Tools Collection. Crafted by Sarah Hulstein, an Occupational Therapy Doctoral student, this collection is curated to equip students with resources for sensory regulation, increased focus, and improved task completion that may be affected by sensory processing. Visit the Cowles Information Desk to explore the kits which include wobble cushions, fidget spinners, balance boards, noise-canceling headphones, and more. Please don’t hesitate to contact Cowles Library at cowleslibrary@drake.edu with any suggestions for additional tools or resources that could further support your needs. These resources are accessible to everyone, ready to be checked out and utilized within the library or in your own study spaces.
