How to Make Schools Less Noisy and Why It Matters

  • Define invisible impairments and raise awareness about their impact on students.
  • Provide quiet areas in or around the lunchroom for students who are sensitive to noise.
  • Implement a 'fast pass' system to allow students to avoid crowded and loud spaces.
  • Offer accommodations for students to take part in classes with fewer people, making them quieter and less crowded.
  • Purchase decibel noise meters for regularly crowded areas to monitor and control noise levels.
