Cash Valley’s school psychologist, Sara Olson, created a Mindful Moment Room for students at the school. "I thought it would be neat to create a space where children could practice their mindfulness, and also where any student could come to take a break and reset if necessary," said Olson. Students are instructed to remove their shoes prior to entering the room, and then they have the opportunity to choose a tool that they feel might help them feel better. Such tools include glitter jars for visual stimulation, breathing balls, stress balls, thinking putty, a calming turtle, bubbles, coloring activities, water beads, a weighted blanket, and a buddha board. Once a student enters the mindfulness room, the teacher sets a timer and they utilize all that the room has to offer until they feel calm enough to return to class. Tapped to the walls are also a variety of yoga poses and breathing strategies for the students to try. 

Beginning last year, Cash Valley implemented the use of coreboards for non-verbal or minimally verbal students as a means to help them build their communciation skills. Coreboards feature icons of most frequently used words that students can use as a system to communicate. Several classes are also utilizing individual coreboards that also feature fringe vocabulary allowing students to work on colors, feelings, etc. According to speech pathologists, Jessica Aydelotte and Katie Lewis, a good many students are definitely bennefitting from the use of coreboards to build their communication skills.
