Thanks for this video! I learned so much! I will say, as a retired sped teacher, the skill set of our wonderful OTs highly vary, as do district budgets.
The ball pit is cleaned with a combination of sanitizing wipes and sprays for simple spills and messes. It is thoroughly cleaned once a year by removing all of the balls and sanitizing them in a chlorine solution. It’s not an easy task so we do not let students with visible illnesses use the ball pit. We also have students use sanitizer and remove their shoes before use.

Glad you enjoyed it! We are very lucky to have wonderful OTs in my district! ❤️

How do you clean the ball pit? And the balls in it?
